As a part of our mission as a Title VI National Resource Center (NRC) the Center for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies (CSEEES) is pleased to have partnered with The Ohio State University's ScarletCanvas platform to create a series of asynchronous, self-paced introductory language and culture courses for Bosnian-Croation-Serbian (BCS), Polish, and Romanian.
