Southeastern Europe Language Program

Provides language training in Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, and Serbia. Academic year, semester, and summer programs feature instruction in the target language by members of university faculty; seminars focusing on vocabulary expansion, development of conversational skills, and stylistics and syntax; and graduate-level academic credit through Bryn Mawr College. Applicants must plan to study for at least one month in the region. Study-trips for periods of four to nine months are particularly encouraged. Applicants must be graduate students at the MA level or higher who have at least elementary language skills. Applicants should explain how their plans for language study support their overall research goals and how this research will enable U.S. policy makers to better understand the region.
