Subject:Arabic and NA Studies at Al Akhawayn

Arabic and North African Studies Program (ARANAS)

Summer 2010 in Morocco

The Arabic and North African Studies program at Al Akhawayn University (AUI) in Morocco is an intensive summer program offered to students from all over the world, at the undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate levels. Over the last 10 years, more than 500 students from 25 nationalities, most of them affiliated with North American universities, have come to the Middle Atlas Mountains in Ifrane, Morocco, to develop their Arabic language skills, learn about North Africa, and experience various aspects of Moroccan culture through club activities and field trips to such places as the sand dunes of southern Morocco, the historical medina of Fez, and the dazzling city of Marrakech. This number is in addition to the dozens of exchange students who take Arabic during their time at AUI.

The ARANAS program grants academic credits which can be applied to an individual’s degree program in his/her home institution. In fact, a diligent student, willing to devote himself or herself to preparing and attending the full morning of classes, and completing homework assignments, can realistically hope to achieve one full academic year of Arabic language by successfully completing the summer program.
