Summer Language Program
The Graduate School will sponsor intensive courses in selected foreign languages during the summer of 2019. The courses provide a general introduction to language and assist graduate students in acquiring a reading proficiency normally adequate to satisfy departmental language requirements. This means that the student will come away with a basic knowledge of the language and the skills to read it. Certification of successful completion of the course(s) will be provided by the Graduate School.
Classes will meet five days a week from 10 a.m. to noon during the six-week periods of June 5-July 17 and July 18-August 29. Courses in both sessions are taught at the same academic level. There must be a minimum of 15 students enrolled in order for a class to be held. Enrollment will be limited to 18 students per class.
Priority enrollment goes first to Princeton graduate students, followed by Princeton Theological Seminary graduate students, and then all others. Please keep in mind that these are intensive courses and have a high workload. Be prepared to minimize conflicts that may interfere with attendance during the six-week period.
Registration will begin in February 2019. The registration deadline for all students is Tuesday, April 16.
Princeton Theological Seminary students must submit a release form with their registration and deposit.
