Participants may enroll in semester, academic year, or summer programs. Participants take courses from expert faculty from leading local universities and educational institutions and immerse themselves through homestays, excursions, and cultural activities.
In past years, languages offered have included Armenian, Azerbaijani, Dari, Farsi, Georgian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Romanian, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Uzbek. See the program website for the current list of languages and locations.
