trained, and highly proficient instructors. Classes will be held four
hours per day over a period of eight weeks, for a total of 132 hours.
Students will earn credits equivalent to one full academic year of

SILMW provides a unique opportunity to explore the languages and
cultures of the Muslim World and interact with experts in this region.
In addition to classroom instruction, SILMW will offer a variety of

provide additional channels for language contact and practice, and
expose learners to the traditions of the Muslim World communities.
These extracurricular activities include research forums, conversation
hours, cooking demonstrations, music, film showings, and other
cultural activities.
