LANGUAGE EMPOWERS. CULTURE ENRICHES.

Center for Continuing Education Foreign Language Program

The University of South Alabama Center for Continuing Education offers conversational language and culture programs that enrich travel, foster appreciation for other cultures, strengthen business collaborations, or simply facilitate personal learning goals. These courses are offered on our Mobile Campus and our Baldwin County Fairhope Campus.  We are proud that our Conversational  courses provide students language training that follows the "Common European Framework" (CEFR) competencies. This means that students may begin at the most rudimentary level and have a map to follow as far as they would like to go.   While our enhanced language program provides rich instruction, the courses remain interactive, fun, and stress free.  Courses and Enrollment
