Credits
Each course is equivalent in content to one semester of a regular-track language course. Each level consists of two courses, given sequentially. Registration is expected for all levels.
Class Hours
Up to five hours of classes are scheduled between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm daily. "ACT" hours provide opportunities to perform in the target language; "FACT" hours use English to provide explanations about the language and culture.
Accelerate Your Learning
OSU offers intensive courses (10 class hours per week) at the intermediate level during the regular academic year. A student may combine this with two consecutive summers of SPEAC to reach the proficiency level normally attained through four years of study. The intensive path is practical and efficient for the study of Chinese and Japanese, which are more time consuming for American students to learn than many other languages.

Begining & Intermediate Level (10 Graduate Credits for credit option): June 6 (Tuesday) to July 21 (Friday) 2017
