Study Abroad

The Arabic Program at Yale University offers courses in Arabic in Morocco. Students are thereby able to learn Arabic immersively in an Arabic-speaking country. Students are assigned to live with local families, which gives them the opportunity to practice their Arabic in a supportive environment. Cultural excursions enable students to learn some of the important aspects of the culture and history of Morocco. This immersion contributes enormously to student learning.  In addition to the classroom work, which is based on Modern Standard Arabic, students take a course in Moroccan dialect. 

Courses
