Undergraduate Certificate Slavic and Eurasian Languages


We offer a certificate for students who wish to study a Slavic or Eurasian language but may not have the time to dedicate to a major. The language certificate, which consists of the equivalent of two years of language study, aims to give students basic intermediate level proficiency in any of the languages in the department, a training that can serve as a helpful professional credential to be paired with another degree. More details and the requirements for certificates can be found below. For a complete listing of requirements, please visit the KU course catalog.

Please contact our director of undergraduate study with any questions you may have.
