Persian Overseas Flagship Program
Tajik, Persian, and Uzbek in Dushanbe

American Councils is pleased to announce the launch of the Persian Overseas Flagship Program under the auspices of the National Flagship Language Program (NFLP.) beginning in 2007-2008. This program is designed to address the need for greater numbers of U.S. professionals in business, government, academia, and third sector who are able to speak, read, understand, and write Persian or Tajik at the highest levels of functional proficiency. Administered by American Councils, with oversight by the Persian Overseas Flagship Academic Council, the nine-month program consists of regular tutorials and small group instruction combined with formal and informal professional language utilization. Participants in the Persian Overseas Flagship Program study the Iranian Persian (Farsi) variant of the language during their studies at the Dushanbe Language Center and Tajik State National University in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. Students attend lectures and seminars in their fields of specialization, reside with local host families, and work regularly with peer tutors. The program is open to advanced-level learners of Persian who are committed to attaining "professional" or "distinguished-level" language proficiency (ILR 3, 3+, 4/ACTFL "Superior" or “Distinguished”) through an intensive yearlong language training program tailored to their professional interests and academic specialization.

The National Persian Flagship - University of Maryland
Two graduate programs: A Graduate Certificate of Professional Studies in Persian and a Master of Professional Studies in Persian. Those students who receive full funding from the Institute of International Education will have an additional year of study at Tajik State National University in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. This component is administered by the American Councils for International Education.
