Kevorkian Center | Masters Program

The following is a listing of summer language programs grouped into five categories: Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Turkish, and Caucusus/Central Asia/South Asia. This is by no means a comprehensive list of programs; nor is it an endorsement of any particular program. Please contact the program for further information concerning course offerings and application procedures. Many of these programs sponsor students with various types of financial aid.

FLAS Fellowships may only be used at institutions whose programs meet the standards of the US Department of Education (USDE) for intensive training (one year equivalency), course length (6 weeks minimum) and classroom hours (140 minimum). Those institutions marked with an asterisk (*) have been approved for use with NYU-administered FLAS fellowships in previous years. Programs without an asterisk may or may not meet USDE standards. In awarding FLAS for summer study, NYU gives priority to those applicants who have applied for financial aid from the programs they plan to attend. Attendance at any particular program with a FLAS fellowship will be contingent upon the availability of matching funds beyond the $4,000 Department of Education tuition cap.

The Department of Education will follow State Department travel advisories when approving FLAS travel to summer programs in the Middle East. The State Department posts travel information at http://www.state.gov/countries/.
