International Summer School (QISS)

July 15 to August 17, 2006

Introduction

Al-Quds University International Summer School in east Jerusalem is  
designed to enable university students or professionals to start or  
improve their learning of Arabic and knowledge of the region's  
culture and history. For students, it offers credit courses that are  
transferable to their universities, and also the opportunity for  
foreign students and Palestinian students living in diaspora to begin  
preparations so they can live here and study for any period of time  
in both Arabic and English.

Professionals and visitors in the area would also benefit from the  
offerings by developing familiarity with the region and expertise  
that will help them in their careers.

QISS offers a total experience that includes academic courses as well  
as lectures, activities, social involvement, and alternative tours of  
Jerusalem and the region.

QISS plans to expand its activities over the following months and  
years and to offer many more credit courses taught in English, in  
addition to a full program in Arabic instruction from beginners to  
high advanced levels. Starting in summer 2006, it is offering the  
following courses:

1.      0400091 Arabic I, Beginners

(4 credits; 5 contact hours; total 75 hours of instruction)

2.      0400093 Arabic II, Intermediate

(4 credits; 5 contact hours; total 75 hours; prerequisite Arabic I)

3.      0400121 Jerusalem throughout History

(2 credits; 30 total hours of instruction)

4.      0400125 History and Politics of the Palestine Question

(2 credits; 30 total hours; instruction in English)

These courses will be scheduled over five days (Saturday to  
Wednesday) to allow participants to be involved in other activities  
and to go on short or long tours in the area.

Tuition Costs:
Each Arabic course costs US$450; the two-credit courses are $200 each.
Special rates are applicable to large groups from the same university.
Accommodation can be arranged at reasonable cost (range $300-500 for  
the month, depending on preference).

The program is directed by Professor Basem Ra’ad.
