BLI: Balkan Language Initiative Program

The Balkan Language Initiative program offers an eight-week long summer and one or two semesters long intensive, highly individualized language instruction.

Participants learn Albanian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Macedonian, Montenegrin, and Serbian in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia. Through homestays, conversation partners, in-class instruction, and a wide range of extracurricular activities, participants enjoy an unprecedented opportunity to immerse themselves in daily local life.

Participants receive academic credit through Bryn Mawr College, an institutional member of American Councils. Upon successful completion of the program, Bryn Mawr College issues:
- 8 undergraduate/10 graduate credit hours for the summer program
- 16 undergraduate/15 graduate credit hours for the fall or spring semesters
- 32 undergraduate/30 graduate credit hours for the academic year program
