Columbia, Cornell, and Yale, through a collaborative arrangement to share less commonly taught languages, offer several languages that are not otherwise taught on our campuses via videoconferencing from a partner institution.
These are not “online” computer-based courses. The courses are taught live by an instructor at the sending institution, and students at the receiving institution will be expected to attend a regular class in a designated classroom which is outfitted with videoconferencing technology. At the receiving end, students will see the teacher and be able to interact via videoconference with him/her and the other class of students.
Please note that you will be registered at your home institution through the regular registration process and receive credit from your own institution. To learn more about the SCI classroom experience, please visit the SCI website.
