The Concordia Language Training Center provides language and culture immersion programming exclusively for personnel within the US Department of Defense. In the LTC program, students develop greater understanding of global political, social, economic, and environmental issues through intensive study of authentic target language materials. Through projects, papers, presentations, and opportunities to collaborate with first-language speakers, participants develop intercultural communicative competence and target-language proficiency.
In addition to obtaining a certificate for training hours completed through a Concordia LTC session, students may register separately to earn either 3 or 4 Concordia College credits. These credits carry an additional fee and require submission of additional written work in the target language while enrolled in the course. Written work includes three or four short (two page) polished discussions of topics studied in the course, and regular, less formal reflections on your cultural learning. See the table below for details.
