Welcome!
Are you looking for a summer intensive study abroad program that has it all? Are you looking for courses about the Middle East? Well, you've come to the right place. Our programs are distinguished by their:
- Quality: We take care in all the details (location, curriculum, faculty, staff, etc.) to ensure that our programs are of the highest quality. We work only with accredited institutions. We will not compromise on this, as our reputation is on the line.
- Affordability: Our programs are designed to be among the most affordable programs. We cut the "middle man" by directly contracting with universities and hiring faculty and staff. We highly encourage you to compare!
- Flexibility of course offerings: This program offers a basket of courses to choose from-- courses that should appeal to students in any of the social science fields.
- Great timeframe: Our programs run from May 17 to June 28, 2009. The timing is designed so that the programs do not eat up the whole summer --as is the case with nearly all summer programs.
- Unsurpassed experiential learning: We take full advantage of what Jordan and what Yarmouk University, our host institution, have to offer. For example, we arrange for local university students to mix with our students and to help them learn about local culture. We visit a number of the major natural and archaelogical sites (e.g., Petra, Dead Sea, Baptism Site, Jerash, Wadi Rum). We will also strive to make the eperience fun and memorable for all the participants.
And, what's a better place to study about the Middle East than Jordan? With its moderate politics, hospitable people, great attractions, safety record, Jordan--better than any other country in the region--is ideally suited for study aborad programs.
