The Special Language Program (SLP) offers a number of foreign languages not otherwise taught at Stanford. Program information, language offerings, and course descriptions can be found in the Stanford Bulletin. Additional languages may still be offered upon request, provided funding is available. Requests for the following academic year should be made by Spring Quarter of the current year. A [ Request a Language ] form is available online, or can be picked up at the Special Language Program office.

You can fulfill the language requirement by taking a special language. More information about this available on the [ FAQ ] page. Please complete the request form.
 
All beginning-level 3-unit courses are offered on a satisfactory/no credit basis only. Intermediate-level and 4-unit courses are offered with a grading option. Because of small class size and individualized instruction, auditing of SLP classes is not permitted.  "Beginning" and "Intermediate" each refer to an academic year's sequence of language study; the suffixes A, B, and C refer to first-, second-, and third-quarter of language instruction that year. Most 3-unit language courses are offered for a two-year, three-quarter sequence; however, a beginning or intermediate level might be offered on alternate years. For further information consult the [ FAQ ] page or contact the Special Language Program office 240-209.
