LOCATION

To ensure the safety of our students and faculty, this program will be held remotely online in 2021.

A city of over 2 million, Tashkent is the capital of Uzbekistan and the administrative and cultural center for much of Central Asia. It is as famous for its lively bazaars and historical monuments as it is for its arts districts and the monumental architecture of the past two decades. It is also known for its many museums and its mix of modern and Soviet-era architecture. The Amir Timur Museum houses manuscripts, weapons and other relics from the Timurid dynasty. Nearby, the huge State Museum of History of Uzbekistan has centuries-old Buddhist artifacts. The city’s skyline is distinguished by Tashkent Tower.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
CLI is working with the Tashkent State University of Uzbek Language and Literature Named After Alisher Nava’i (TSUULL) to establish this study-abroad program for summer 2021!

This year, Second-Year Uzbek will be held online to ensure that our students and faculty from around the world can work together safely. 

HOUSING
Students live in Tashkent State University of Uzbek Language and Literature dormitories.

MEALS
