Course texts and supplemental materials are available for purchase from the Department of Languages and Regional Studies. The selection of course materials for each language is a matter of extensive research and deliberation in order to guarantee our students have the best of what is available. Towards these ends, the Department is continually developing new materials, evaluating the usefulness of current ones, and reviewing those on the market for purchase.

Course materials may be pre-ordered by phone (202)785-2710 or in person. You may pay for your books and other materials by credit card, organizational voucher, or in-person by check or cash (exact change required). If you wish to pay using an organizational voucher, your employer or sponsor must first send us an authorization form.

Note: All course materials must be picked up at MEI as no course materials can be delivered by mail.
