Subject:Honors Program in Morocco

AMIDEAST Education Abroad Programs in the Arab World is pleased to announce a unique new program in Morocco beginning this coming fall.  The Honors Program in North African Studies combines semi-intensive Arabic language study with a research-, reading- and discussion-intensive approach under the guidance of Dr. Amal Rassam, professor emerita of anthropology at Queens College in New York.

Offered in collaboration with the American Institute for Maghrib Studies (AIMS), the Honors Program is intended for academically motivated students with a demonstrated interest in Middle East and North African studies who are prepared to undertake significant research. Participants must have completed at least one year of college-level Arabic, and preference in the admissions process will be given tostudents who also have some knowledge of French.

The language component of this program includes a 4-credit MSA course (offered at the 200-, 300- and 400-levels based on placement), and two 3-credit courses, one in Moroccan darija and the other in media Arabic, with is offered at both the 200- and 300-levels.

For full information about this exciting new option for students interested in studying abroad in the Arab world please visit our website.
