Online Language Courses | Earn College Credit

Learning a language opens up a world of new personal and professional possibilities.

The Concordia Language Institute is offered through a partnership with Concordia Language Villages. Courses are open to anyone (post-high school) interested in exploring a new language.

A majority of our courses are for beginners with no previous experience. There are also intermediate and advanced options available for those with previous language experience. All credit courses are taught by language instructors from Concordia College and Concordia Language Villages in an online format with synchronous, hybrid, and asynchronous options.

Languages Back — Teacher preparation program for Indigenous language revitalization

Language Training Center — Language and culture immersion programming for Department of Defense personnel

Master of Education in World Language Instruction — a graduate degree program ideal for world language and TESOL teachers
