Fulbright Teaching Assistants Approved
NC State has been approved by the Institute of International Education to host three Fulbright foreign language teaching assistants in 2009-2010; one from India to teach Urdu, one from Bangladesh to teach Bengali, and one from Afghanistan to teach Persian.
The application was made by the North Carolina Center for South Asia Studies, a Title VI National Resource Center comprising NC State, UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke University, funded by the U.S. Department of Education since 1999 for the development of South Asia studies and the teaching of South Asian languages. The Center’s Critical Languages Program, provides courses in less-commonly-taught languages such as Persian, Bengali, Tamil and Nepali for all three campuses.
