Private, one on one setting:
The perfect plan for students looking for maximum schedule flexibility. Easily arranged, private classes allow the student to learn the most, and advance at a much faster pace than a group class. Classes are easily re-scheduled, during the same week, in the event unforeseen circumstances prevent the student from attending the regularly scheduled class.

Semi Private (2-3 Students):
A more affordable plan enables two to three students to receive instructions in a small group setting. The perfect plan for students who are looking for a small class in order to get the most instruction, at a reduced price.

Group (4+ Students):
The most economical option, for the student who is looking to learn a language on a budget. The larger groups regularly meet once a week for about 1.5 hours. Students who sign up for a group class are aware that there is no flexibility in the schedule, and that any missed class cannot be re-scheduled. When a class is missed, students are encouraged to contact their instructor to request any assignment that they must complete in order to catch up with the other students.

GlobeLink FLC is the only foreign language center in southern Colorado to offer classes for credit through UCCS’ Extended Studies in the following languages: Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, Italian, Korean and Portuguese.

Please contact the Extended Studies Program at lases@uccs.edu for more information about this exciting partnership.
