Placement into the program and levels offered are flexible to accommodate students from various institutions and backgrounds. The program covers a full year of Arabic for a total of 12 points in two four- week sessions. Courses include:

Modern Standard Arabic, 10 points

Course-related field trips and cultural activities are organized to provide opportunities for students to strengthen their language skills and deepen their understanding of Arabic language, history, and culture. Sites to be visited might include Petra, the Dead Sea, Al-Aqaba, and Jarash. The program will also organize trips where students work with local communities on particular projects. Depending student interest, placements in arts internships will also be available.
