Recurring Summer Language Learning Opportunities

We do our best to review and update these links when websites change or programs are discontinued. However, please note that we are not responsible for maintaining the postings on the sites listed bellow nor can we vouch for the caliber of the programs they promote. You can find many summer language programs with upcoming application deadlines on our Academic Opportunities page and in our weekly eBulletin. 

While the programs listed here focus only on languages regularly taught at The University of Chicago, many of these institutions offer additional languages from the CEERES region. Please consult their individual webpages for more information and reach out to ceeres@uchicago.edu if you have any questions.
