Summer Language Institute

Learn an entire year of a language online this summer!

• Modern language courses develop student proficiency across all four language skills—speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

• Ancient language courses build students' reading abilities and their familiarity with ancient texts and culture.

• Courses are six, seven, or eight weeks long, and meet for 90-150 contact hours. Read each course listing carefully.

• Our intensive language courses confer 300 units of credit and are equivalent to three quarter-long (9 week) courses.

• See individual course descriptions for prerequisites, if any.

Eligibility

Open to current UChicago students, visiting undergraduate, graduate and advanced pre-college students.

Summer Language Institute courses are taught online. There is no hybrid or in-person option for these courses. Students cannot live in residence on campus if they enroll in an online course.
