Critical Languages at Williams
General Information


The Critical Languages Program is designed to cover the languages not offered on a regular basis in the Williams curriculum. The Program originated in part from requests by a growing number of faculty and students of different cultural backgrounds, and in part from the need to respond to the pluralistic realities of today's world.

Elementary Hebrew, Hindi, Korean and Swahili and advanced Arabic may be studied for a one-year period, in a self-instructional fashion under the tutorial supervision of trained native speakers and with evaluations from qualified language specialists from other institutions.
