Intensive BCS in Sarajevo
CLI's 4-week summer program in Sarajevo helps students extend and solidify the language and culture skills they develop during intensive Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian classes on the ASU campus.
The Sarajevo program offers Elementary and Intermediate instruction.
Students in both levels share a single set of activities and excursions.
Students receive 3 ASU credits at the 400 level (SLC 494) for successfully completing the program.
Since the Sarajevo program is small, instructors provide a great deal of individual attention and staff are able to tailor the program to students' needs.
This program is open only to students who complete one of the 7-week courses below.
Classes meet 3 hours a day on weekdays. Students enjoy regular cultural activities and excursions, with weekend trips out of town. Activities are arranged each year with the input of participants. For a sample, see the 2011 Sarajevo co-curricular activities schedule.
Materials for the elementary and intermediate classes are the same as those for the intensive Elementary BCS and intensive Intermediate BCS.
Students live in a private house in downtown Sarajevo, with internet, satellite TV, etc. Meals are available in nearby cafes and restaurants. The cost of meals is not included in the estimated cost of the program.
