The Hindi-Urdu Flagship program offers advanced Hindi Urdu language learners a four-year honors-level program. The curriculum is designed to help students develop superior-level language skills while pursing degrees in the academic major of their choice.
Freshman and sophomore years consist of a core language course taken each semester and an area content course taken once a year (click here for detailed descriptions of these key Flagship courses). The junior year consists of a study abroad program in India incorporating a language course with major-specific courses and a 6-week internship relevant to a student's chosen field of study. While a full year abroad is preferred, the Flagship will consider a semester and summer option on a case by case basis for those students with stringent major-specific requirements. The senior year consists of an independent, capstone research project and exit language test.
