The Language Flagship is a national effort to change the way Americans learn languages. We offer language programs at schools across the United States for students from kindergarten to college.

Designed as a network of programs, The Flagship community is made up of 23 Flagship centers and programs at institutions of higher education, 11 overseas centers and programs, and three K-12 programs. Programs are led by nationally-recognized leaders and innovators in language education.

Each Flagship Center is unique. All Flagship Centers have programs for undergraduate students. And all share the goal of educating students in the languages and cultures of the world.
