Every language deserves a voice
Upscale your language learning superpowers with us!
The Critical Languages Program offers less commonly taught languages which are not available in traditional departments or formats at the University of Arizona.
All basic language courses emphasize speaking and aural comprehension at the elementary and intermediate levels while a writing component is incorporated at the advanced level. Languages offered vary from semester to semester and year to year, depending upon student demand. See how to register for CLP courses. CLP courses can fulfill your degree language requirement and can also be applied to a minor in Critical Languages, Intercultural Studies and thematic minor.
Watch some of CLP's tutors talk about their languages and classes!
