Arabic Overseas Flagship Program

In addition to Arabic language courses and specially designed content classes that are taught in Arabic, ALIF scholars participate in a study abroad experience designed especially for flagship students at Alexandria University in Egypt. All flagship students are required to study overseas through the Arabic Overseas Flagship Program for a full year when they reach Advanced proficiency. In addition, many students also study abroad for a summer when they reach Intermediate proficiency.
