The National University College of Letters and Sciences (COLS), in conjunction with National University Virtual High School (NUVHS), an affiliate of the National University System, is offering a 4-week STARTALK summer non-residential day program for students in Grades 6-16 in Persian language. The program is designed to award, upon successful completion, academic credit for language coursework. Through the program, Grades 6-12 will be eligible to receive high school credit from NUVHS, and college level students will be eligible to receive college credit from COLS.
The program will include cultural enrichment activities and field trips. In addition, the program provides ongoing follow-up learning opportunities for the students in order to create incentive for language learning and to refrain from linguistic attrition. These include an opportunity to enroll in National University’s on-line Persian language courses (follow up high school-level courses, as well as major, minor, and certificate) thus capitalizing on the credits earned in the summer program and staying invested in Persian language learning into post-secondary education and beyond.
