We have also offered study abroad programs since 2002 and are currently expanding to serve individuals and universities seeking programs that provide students with proficiency in Arabic in the shortest possible time while engaging with Arab culture. We have added new semester, year and summer study abroad programs for individuals, which will include an integrated program of cultural outings accompanied by our Arabic teachers giving students a chance to practice Arabic both inside and outside the classroom. We have set up a new Web site with expanded information about these programs:<br><a href="http://www.arabicincairo.com/individuals" target="_blank">http://www.arabicincairo.com/individuals</a><br><br>We also partner with a number of universities and colleges to deliver faculty-led study abroad programs.
