Who can enroll?

Anyone may enroll in these courses on a non-credit basis through the Foreign Language Institute website. Classes will be held in the Jim D. Morris Center in downtown Springfield on the corner of McDaniel and Jefferson.

Why should I learn a new language?

The goal of these introductory language courses are to provide qualified education to prepare culturally competent individuals for life and work in the world where communication with people of other cultures and languages is becoming increasingly important.
