FALCON - Full Year Asian Language CONcentration
Cornell University Website: www.arts.cornell.edu/asian/falcon.htm Applicants do not need to be in a Cornell University degree program to enroll in FALCON. FALCON is a rigorous and intensive program, so all applicants should be highly motivated to learn Chinese or Japanese and be ready to put steady effort into the endeavor. Applications are welcome from anyone, regardless of citizenship or student status. Participants have ranged from qualified high school students, undergraduates who plan careers in East Asia, graduate students with specializations involving Chinese or Japanese, to professionals outside the academic world who need a strong foundation in the language for their careers, or because they plan to live in a Chinese or Japanese-speaking country. A placement test is required to begin study in any term other than summer. All FALCON students earn a certificate of completion and Cornell University credit. Contact information: |
