The Language Flagship supports students studying critical languages at the graduate level. All programs, except Russian, are designed as master’s degree programs.

The graduate program has two components: one domestic and one overseas. The first year involves intensive language study at a domestic Flagship Center. The second year is spent in an immersion program overseas, which is designed and managed by the domestic Flagship Institutions. While overseas students complete internships and direct enroll in classes taught in their Flagship language.
