PERSIAN

GW’s Persian program offers courses from beginning to advanced levels. Designed for both heritage and non-heritage students, classes help students develop their Persian language skills and cultural understanding through rigorous study and application.

In beginner Persian courses, students are empowered to practice their skills in writing, reading, listening and speaking. In upper-level classes, students analyze a wide range of media sources from the Persianate world. They learn to critically read, accurately summarize, analyze, translate and interpret Persian media in its political, social and economic context. Upon completion of GW’s program, many students go on to apply their qualifications in the fields of diplomacy, linguistics, intelligence or business, in the United States and abroad.
