These programs are geared towards graduate students, serious under-graduate students at U.S. colleges and universities, teachers in area studies, and others who can demonstrate how intensive language study will further their goals.
ACADEMIC YEAR or SINGLE SEMESTER PROGRAM (September-December; January- April)
Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Marathi, Malayalam, Mughal Persian, Odia, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Tamil, Telugu, Tibetan
Other languages as requested
Spend the full academic year, or either Fall or Spring in India or online learning an Indian language! Students will gain significant fluency in their target language, benefit from small group instruction and sometimes individual attention. Most students gain significant fluency in their language, as well as comfort in their regional and cultural contexts. Students spend 4 hours each weekday working on their language fluency. Program heads in India also provide contacts to local NGOs, cultural centers, and other institutions to enable students to participate in community-based learning and project development.
Online students are able to take 2 synchronous hours in the morning and 2 asynchronous hours at their convenience of language courses each weekday. This allows students and professionals the opportunity to engage in intensive language study while continuing with work, classes, or family obligations at home.
All language can be taken online. We will only run an in-person program in India if we have at least 3 students per language
All accepted in-person students will be offered an American Institute of Indian Studies Language Tuition Scholarship, which will cover their full tuition excluding an administrative fee. In-person students may apply for a fee reduction. There is no additional funding for travel or personal expenses.
Online: Study hard to learn regional languages intensively during the summer. The online summer program focuses on personalized lesson plans crafted to fill individual student’s language learning goals. Students are provided with 120 synchronous hours of learning, and an additional 36 asynchronous hours that they can do at their own pace. Tuition for online programs is $3000 per semester. Students may apply for extremely limited financial aid for their programs.
