Foreign Language Options at a Glance

USAC offers a wide variety of language courses across our many programs, and with options for most levels (beginning-advanced), studying abroad is the perfect way to learn or become proficient in a

language.

Specialty Programs offer you the opportunity to study a language in a city or country where it is

traditionally spoken (i.e. learn Twi in Ghana or Spanish in Costa Rica). This allows you to engage in

language instruction both formally in the classroom, and informally with locals as you go about your

daily life.

On USAC’s Partnership Programs, you are often able to choose from the majority of courses offered at the host university. This means you can study both the native language of your host country, as well as

languages not traditionally spoken by the locals. For example, you can take Russian in Scotland or

German in South Africa.

Specialty Programs offer both intensive and less intensive course offerings in locally spoken languages.

The amount of credits you can complete in your chosen term will vary by location, but in many instances you can complete up to 2 years of instruction in just one semester! Intensive language courses are

grouped into tracks to allow you to progress through your instruction quickly, and many programs also

offer elective language and literature courses.

Language courses sections are kept to a maximum enrollment of 15 students each to facilitate student

success.

Overview: Intensive Language Study

Options vary by USAC program location, but in general, students will enroll in a series of

sequential (back to back) courses taught within one semester while simultaneously enrolling in

other elective courses taught throughout the entire semester. Intensive language study can

allow students to complete a series of courses that would take up to two years to complete on

a university campus. In the examples given below, you will see that two, three, or four courses

can be finished in one semester (4-in-1, 3-in-1, or 2-in-1). USAC refers to these sequential

courses as “tracks.” It is also useful to consult the USAC catalog and website for more

information.

Summer and winter courses can be considered intensive in that one language course can be

completed in a 3- to 5-week session. Depending on location and session duration, students can

complete six to eight foreign language credits (plus electives) within two summer sessions.

Semester durations also vary by location. The 16-week semester is used as an example in order

to help explain the track formats. Exact semester dates are listed in the USAC catalog or online

at usac.unr.edu.
