For immersion programs, how much of a language background do I need?

We have a broad range of programs, for beginners to advanced students. Our advanced immersion programs in France and Spain require at least 2-3 years of study in these languages, while others are geared toward intermediate or beginner students. Italian programs, Travel-Study Programs and USA Programs do not require any previous language study. Please refer to the description of the specific summer program of interest for more details. Placement assessments help determine the class level appropriate for each student. In addition to morning classes, we offer tutoring and small group workshops (e.g. conversation and culture workshops) for those students who are interested in additional learning opportunities.
