The Kansas African Studies Center (KASC), Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS), and Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) are expanding their language programs at KU through a grant from the U.S. Department of Education.  Among them, the centers offer courses of study in 17 less commonly taught languages and financial support for both KU and non-KU students through Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships.
