The Language Flagship is a national initiative aimed at transforming how Americans learn critical languages, offering undergraduate students the opportunity to gain professional language proficiency in languages such as Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, and several African languages. With programs at universities across the U.S., students from all language levels—from novice to advanced—can join and pursue any major while building valuable language skills. Through immersive study, both domestically and abroad, students develop global expertise, professional internship experience, and leadership abilities, making them highly marketable in today’s workforce. The Language Flagship is the only national program that enables students to combine their academic studies with intensive language training, preparing them to become future global professionals.
