Studying a language not offered at D?

<p>I'm pretty focused on Dartmouth now in my college planning, considering Dartmouth ED really seriously. </p>

<p>But as I went through dartmouth.edu, I realized that Dartmouth, unlike many of my other top schools, does not offer Hindi. I know that Dartmouth really prides itself on a strong language program, and I was really intent on learning Hindi (a primary dialect of most of India). </p>

<p>I know from a Yale info session that Yale's language department can usually arrange for you to get credit for learning a language they don't offer, usually via Yale's own arrangements for you with an outside teacher or something. Does Dartmouth offer such opportunities for you to take a language that isn't offered? </p>

<p>My own searches came out in vain; I'm hoping actual Dartmouth alumni/students/parents would have a better idea. </p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>You may want to contact the AMES program at Dartmouth directly. It looks like a “Hindi as a Cultural Construct” class is offered at Dartmouth.
Remember that study abroad programs are an alternate way to explore this topic.</p>

<p>I saw that Hindi as a Cultural Construct class, but I honestly thought it was more of like, a ‘history of Hindi’ type course rather than an actual Hindi language class. I never thought about directly contacting Dartmouth though. </p>

<p>Any other opinions?</p>

<p>I wonder if the Rassias Center might have some ideas: [Rassias</a> Language Immersion Programs at Dartmouth](<a href=“This page has moved”>Rassias Language Immersion Programs at Dartmouth)</p>
