The Indonesian program is hosted by Universitas Negeri Malang (UM), one of the oldest teaching institutions in Indonesia, dating back to 1954. UM is considered to be one of the premiere institutions in Indonesia for the teaching of educators, professors, and teachers of Indonesian as a second language. UM has been hosting the CLS Indonesian Program since its inception in 2010. The CLS Program has become well integrated into the university culture and CLS students quickly find themselves accepted as a part of the student community.
