Lebanon: American University of Beirut: Arabic Immersion - Partner (currently suspended) - Main Page

This program has been temporarily suspended. AU Abroad is NOT accepting applications for study at American University of Beirut for the summer 2007 term.

Learn Arabic in a dynamic, unique and culturally rich city on the Mediterranean-Beirut, Lebanon! After a difficult history, life is returning to Beirut. The city is an exciting mix of cultures and faiths, perched on a breathtaking sweep of Mediterranean coastline. The most populous city in Lebanon, Beirut is now emerging as a popular tourist and commercial center-a true cultural crossroads.

The American University of Beirut (AUB) was founded in 1866 as a private, independent, non-sectarian institution of higher learning, functioning under a charter from the State of New York. AUB has grown from 16 students in a rented house to a major university with over 6,900 students located on a 73-acre campus overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

AU Abroad is pleased to offer the opportunity for AU students to participate in an intensive Summer Arabic Language program based in The Center for Arab and Middle Eastern Studies (CAMES) at the American University of Beirut. CAMES hosts leading programs and research in the area of Middle Eastern Studies, attracting a diverse group of students and scholars from around the world.
