The Anderson Language and Technology Center (ALTEC) is pleased to offer multiple levels of French, Italian and Spanish in fall 2018, along with Directed Independent Language Study courses in Danish, Indonesian, Swedish, Thai and Tibetan. Register today!

Non-credit language classes

ALTEC language classes are non-credit and for enrichment only. Classes run for 10 weeks beginning Sept. 10 and meet once a week for two hours.

Community members can register for these classes at a rate of $200 per class. Current CU faculty, staff and graduate students receive a 50 percent discount. Payments can be made by credit card, cash or check. Interdepartmental invoices are also accepted, should a department wish to sponsor tuition. 

Students have access to a large collection of foreign language materials at the ALTEC Multimedia Library, located in Hellems 159.

Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, closing on Friday, Aug. 31. Learn more on the ALTEC language classes webpage.

Directed, independent study courses

With smaller class sizes and more individualized attention from the instructor, the Directed Independent Language Study (DILS) program makes possible the study of less commonly taught languages. This fall, ALTEC will offer 3-credit-hour classes in Danish, Indonesian and Swedish and non-credit courses in Thai and Tibetan.

University staff can use their tuition benefit to register online in MyCUInfo for the Danish, Indonesian and Swedish courses. Staff may take the Thai and Tibetan classes for free by emailing altec@colorado.edu.
