University of Wisconsin-Madison
Summer Arabic Immersion Program
12 June–7 August 2004 (Madison, Wisconsin)  
UW-Madison announces its first summer residential immersion program in  
Arabic at both the elementary and intermediate levels—open to  
undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals. In an effort to  
create an environment conducive to the demands of an immersion course,  
UW-Madison has chosen the campus of nearby Edgewood College, on  
Madison’s Lake Wingra, as the site for the program. Participants will  
agree to use Arabic exclusively throughout the entire eight-week  
duration.  
The program will feature a variety of out-of-class activities. Students  
will take meals with their instructors, watch films with members of the  
local Arab community, take field trips to cultural sites, and  
participate in their choice of daily athletic and artistic activities  
coordinated by Arabic-speaking staff.  
This summer will offer two levels of Arabic study: elementary, or first  
year Arabic, and intermediate, or second year Arabic. Those with no  
background in Arabic study are encouraged to apply for the elementary  
level, while those with one year of university-level Arabic study or  
its equivalent are encouraged to apply at the intermediate level. Both  
levels offer eight UW-Madison semester credits.  
Admission to the program will be selective. Applicants will be accepted  
on a rolling basis until the program is filled. It is anticipated that  
26 applicants will be admitted for summer, 2004. Apply early for the  
best chance of admission. See the program website for further details
