2024 Course Offerings

Summer 2024 Class Instruction Modes

Courses for the 2024 Language Institute are being offered through a variety of learning modalities including in-person classes; virtual, synchronous classes via Zoom (RS); and online, asynchronous classes (RA).

Please check the courses, descriptions, and modalities using the Penn State Class Search in order to access the most up-to-date information. Please be sure to enter the appropriate term (Summer), campus (University Park), location (CONFINST) and subject (i.e., ARAB, CHNS, SPAN) as your ONLY search criteria.

Please check the Penn State Class Search page the day before your class begins to verify class times and modalities.

Enrollment Information

In some languages, we list course numbers 1/2/3 (4 credits) and course numbers 51/52/53 (3 credits). These course numbers refer to the same course with undergraduate and graduate students together (for example, FR 1/51).  Please adhere to the following guidelines when enrolling in these courses:

  • Penn State undergraduate students should enroll 1/2/3 course numbers (sections 601, 602, etc.)
  • Penn State graduate students who don’t receive summer tuition assistance (STAP) should enroll in 51/52/53 courses, sections 611 or 612 ONLY.
  • Penn State graduate students who receive summer tuition assistance (STAP) from their home departments must be manually enrolled in a special 701/702 section of the 51/52/53 courses. To be enrolled, please send an email verifying your STAP eligibility to Elena Galinova (galinova@psu.edu). If you have questions regarding your eligibility for summer tuition assistance, please contact the graduate staff assistant in your home department.
