UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Penn State Language Institute is offering most of its intensive courses remotely this summer. Students from all Penn State campuses are welcome to take a world language class, especially if the language they are interested in is not offered at their campus.
The languages offered summer 2026 are Arabic, Chinese, German, French, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Spanish. The classes are open to undergraduate and graduate students as well as to academically motivated high school students.
Courses are intensive and short; course sequences last between 6 and 9 weeks. All beginner levels start in early to mid-June.
