If I receive an academic year FLAS award, will I be expected to take a language and an area studies course during the award period?
Some of the different area studies centers deal with this a bit differently. However, for Slavic Studies you must be enrolled in both a language AND an area studies course EACH SEMESTER for an academic year award. If you need help identifying possible area studies courses, contact the FLAS coordinator in the center to which you are applying. • Q: Which language courses can I take with a FLAS award? A: The language you select will depend on your own interests, academic pursuits, and future career goals. You will need to select the language that you are most interested in and make a case for it in your statement/essay. At the beginning level, however, you will not be able to use FLAS funds for a program abroad. At the beginning level, you must select a domestic program UNLESS there are no stateside programs available. At the intermediate and advanced level, a FLAS can fund either a program in the U.S. or abroad.
