Hey guys,

I'm looking for a University that offers courses in slavic languages, preferably Croatian or Serbo-Croatian. I have already seen that Wisconsin - Madison and UIUC both offer programs. Does anybody know of any more. Im specifically looking at areas in the midwest and would prefer an urban area. UIC offers slavic language, but does not offer Croatian or Serbo - Croatian.

Thanks.

I can't say for sure, but look at other large flagship universities:


U of Minnesota-Twin Cities
Indiana University
U of Michigan-Ann Arbor
Ohio State U.

If you're willing to consider places outside of the midwest, take a look at:

UC-Berkeley
UCLA
UT-Austin

The U of M Twin Cities has a Slavic Language program, but I think that it focuses more on Turkish and Persian. KU is the only school that I can think of that might offer what you are looking for:

KU: Office of Study Abroad (http://www.studyabroad.ku.edu/programs/shortterm/croatia_sli.shtml - broken link)

You already need a year of Croatian language, though.

I think that it might be hard to find a program specific course of study based around the Croatian language, or Serbian, in the US. Someone has to offer it, but you'll be in for a search.

K-Luv, thanks.

The guys at College Confidential helped me out a bit. They had me go LCTL Course Offerings and type 'Croatian' into the search box. There are actually quite a few responses.

I wasnt really looking to do a full program. I am looking to do my Master's and wanted to learn Croatian while doing so.

Thanks for the help guys.
