• The Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) Program is an intensive overseas language and cultural immersion program for American students enrolled at U.S. colleges and universities. Students spend eight to ten weeks abroad studying one of 15 critical languages. The program includes intensive language instruction and structured cultural enrichment experiences designed to promote rapid language gains.

CLS, a program of the U.S. Department of State, is part of a wider government initiative to expand the number of Americans studying and mastering foreign languages that are critical to national security and economic prosperity. CLS plays an important role in preparing students for the 21st century’s globalized workforce and increasing national competitiveness.

Most languages offered by the CLS Program do not require applicants to have any experience studying critical languages. The CLS Program seeks participants with diverse interests, and from a wide range of fields of study and career paths, with the purpose of representing the full diversity of the United States. Participants are selected based on their commitment to language learning and plans to apply their language skills to their future academic or professional pursuits. Please note that CLS is an intensive group-based language program.

Students accepted into the 7-week program will conduct hands-on research in Kenya alongside faculty mentors. Our program, in collaboration with the National Museums of Kenya, brings students to the Turkana Basin in northern Kenya to learn anthropological experimental design and field methods on topics including paleolithic archaeology, paleontology, ecology, and/or human biology. If taken for course credit, this is offered through The George Washington University.

Field School Dates: June 8 – July 20, 2020 (subject to slight change)

Students will participate in our post-fieldwork workshop in November of 2020, with expenses covered by the REU fellowship. Students who receive the fellowship are required to participate in the entire program, including an online preparatory course beginning in May of 2020. Fellowship students are required by NSF to be US citizens or permanent residents enrolled in an undergraduate program. Female and minority students are especially encouraged to apply to this opportunity. For full consideration for the REU fellowship, completed applications should be received December 10.
