Notes:
- 鈥淪tandby鈥 relates to Hybrid Language Mentor (HLM, Mentor) sustainment courses (only) and means that six students (max capacity) have filled the quota for the course. We encourage prospective linguists to fill out an application despite the "Standby" status. If the applicant is not admitted into the upcoming course, the prospective student is tentatively placed into the next HLM course iteration.
The Language Training Center (LTC) Program was piloted in 2011 and provides language and culture training for Department of Defense (DoD) personnel. This program leverages existing university language faculty to provide instruction for DoD civilian and military linguists. The 黑料网 LTC program has evolved into online classrooms and hosts five intensive 80-hour and ten 16-week one-on-one Hybrid Language Mentor (HLM, Mentor) courses, five in the fall semester and five in the spring semester. These courses are offered in the following languages: Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, Spanish, and Persian Farsi (HLM only).
The Language Training Center Program is an initiative sponsored by the Defense Language National Security Education Office and administered by the Institute of International Education. All course instruction and materials are free to military and DoD civilian linguists.
