Study Abroad
Arabic
Students may choose to study in the Arab world in consultation with
Arabic program faculty. Popular destinations have included Beirut,
Lebanon; Amman, Jordan; Fez or Rabat, Morocco, to name just a few. Some students may elect to study Arabic in U.S.-based
programs, such as the summer immersion program at Middlebury College.
Tufts has also successfully placed Arabic students into the prestigious
Center for Arabic Study Abroad program at the American University in
Cairo, and in other, similar programs. To learn more about study abroad

life, and combines the flair of a picturesque medieval downtown with the

course content at no extra cost. Credits will be entered to student
