BLINN TO LAUNCH COLLEGE CREDIT CZECH LANGUAGE COURSES IN FALL

  

This fall, Blinn College will become just the second higher education institution in Texas to offer Czech language courses for college credit.

While Blinn has offered non-credit Czech courses for over 15 years, its new college-credit courses will be able to meet the foreign language or elective requirements for many four-year colleges.

Dean of Humanities Dr. Pat Westergaard says these new credit-earning classes “fulfill a unique need and help preserve this rich culture, which has had a lasting impact on Texas history”.  She said Blinn’s goal is to “keep the language alive for future generations”.

The courses will be available face-to-face on the Blinn-Schulenburg Campus and online.  High school students will be able to take the courses through Blinn’s Dual Credit program, which allows students to earn both high school and college credit.
