Study Abroad
Summers Abroad | Capstone Year
Study Abroad is the cornerstone of language learning. Arabic Flagship students study abroad for one-two summers in Jordan or Morocco and the Capstone year in Morocco. These programs allow the student to fully immerse into the local culture and use the language as a necessity in their day to day live, building fluency, gaining experiences, and having the adventure of a lifetime!
“Studying abroad is a crucial, and mandatory, part of pursuing Arabic proficiency at Ole Miss. I cannot stress enough how much I have learned not only about Arabic and Arab culture, but about myself from studying abroad in the Middle East and North Africa.”

“Studying abroad changed my perspective on the world, and getting to speak Arabic in my day-to-day life solidified my love for the language. Arabic is so much more than another subject or class, learning the language unlocks a whole new culture that can be experienced by traveling to the Middle East/North Africa region.”
