Sana,

I suggest Georgetown University. Unfortunately, I do not know what  
courses our taught during the summer. We have many courses here that  
are taught only in Arabic at the upper level during the regular  
academic year, most dealing with literature. I am a (technically) a  
grad student, and these courses are sufficiently difficult for me. As  
a native speaker, I am not sure how difficult they would be. For one  
class I take now, I am expected to read one book/short story (I mean  
at least ~80-100 pages) and write a response (~2 pages double spaced,  
more if I feel adventurous). For another class the readings were much,  
much shorter, but exams required vowelling every single vowel and a  
decent translation of more than a dozen sentences. That should help  
you gauge.

In any event, send me a reply and I will forward this to some people  
in the department. I would refer to the Summer Arabic Language School  
here, but that will most obviously be beneath you.

Regards,
_AJS

The Language Acquisition Resource Center (LARC) at the San Diego State
University offers a six-week summer intensive Distinguished Level Arabic

an ILR

follows the
master/apprentice teaching model.

As far as I know the only universities that offer graduate courses in  
Arabic
in the US are the ones we all know (Arizona, Georgetown, Michigan,  
NYU...).
I don't know if they run any  summer programs in Arabic at the graduate
level. Al-Akhawayn university in Ifrane, (Morocco) offers advanced  
courses
in MSA (Fusha), the grades are transferable to US institutions. You  
might
want to check with Dr. Chekayri there for more information. They could
design a graduate course if there is enough demand on it. He would  
also be
able to give you ample information on graduate programs in Arabic in  
Morocco
if there are any that are open to non-native speakers. I know that many
state/government universities there offer good graduate programs in  
Arabic
and other fields that are taught in Arabic.
