The Yale Center for Language Study is now accepting applications for its Fields Program.
The Fields Program gives students the opportunity to pursue advanced-level language study within the context of their academic area of focus (generally in areas other literature if the language is taught at Yale, since advanced coursework in literature would likely be available).
This is a non-credit program, open to all registered Yale students (undergraduate, graduate and professional). In this program, students work with a language partner—a native speaker of the target language (not a formal instructor)—in two 1-hour sessions for 12 weeks. The sessions aim to develop linguistic and cultural competence through active conversation and practice of what you are studying independently.
With a limited number of slots available, a selection committee reviews all applications for their merit and appropriateness, and notifies students of its decisions within four to six weeks after the application deadline.
Please note that all applications must be received by the application deadline (this includes applications for continued study from current Fields students).
Reapplications for an additional semester are allowed. Please see the Fields webpage for additional details.
