Please visit the above link for more information.

Summer courses for reading knowledge in French, German, Ancient Greek, Italian, Latin, and Spanish will be offered in six weeks in the CUNY Graduate Center Language Reading Program. These non-credit, intensive classes are designed to assist graduate students in meeting the language requirements for their degrees. Classes meet three days a week (MWF) for two hours and forty minutes each day. Level One assumes no knowledge of the language; Level Two classes are for students who can read the language. Day classes begin on June 14th and end on July 26th. Evening classes in Level One French, German, and Latin begin on June 28th and end on August 9th.
Tuition for these courses for students matriculated in the spring semester in a degree-bearing program of CUNY is $275, $500 for non-matriculated students. Payment is by check, cash, or money order only. Registration forms are available in the lobby of the Graduate Center and in the office of the Language Reading Program (room 4415). Registration for these courses is not handled by the registrar's office nor do these courses appear on the student's transcript. However, official documentation of each student's performance will be supplied by the Office of the Language Reading Program upon request. Registration closes on May 24th, but French and German classes may be closed by then. For further information, please call (212) 817-2081.

Students may satisfy The Graduate Center’s language requirement either by demonstrating competency in an advanced methodological technique or statistical method or by demonstrating the ability to read a foreign language appropriate to the field of study.

Competency in Research Methods
Students who do not receive a grade of B or better in CRJ U700 and CRJ U701 may be dropped from the program by action of the Executive Committee on the basis of a review of their entire record. Those receiving a grade of less than B who are permitted to remain in the program will be required to repeat the course or take additional work.
