Summer Arabic Study

Summer Arabic Study Information Meeting

We will hold a Zoom meeting for any students interested in summer Arabic study (in the US or abroad) on Thursday, February 15, 2024 at 4:30 p.m.  The meeting address is https://princeton.zoom.us/j/8369207872 .  Drop in to learn about study-abroad opportunities, funding, Princeton credit and more.  The meeting will remain open until 6:00 p.m., so come when you can and leave when you must.  Also any Princeton students who have previously studied Arabic in the summer are encouraged to attend to serve as resources for your fellow Arabic students.

Important Travel Advisory Regarding COVID-19

In order to inform and support the health and safety of students and others in our community, the University has established a page for updated international travel advice concerning the Coronavirus at https://emergency.princeton.edu/what-to-do/public-health-alerts/2019-novel-coronavirus.  More specific information for student travelers is also available at https://international.princeton.edu/travel-toolkit.  Students should consult both of these sites when making travel plans.

Students should note that a number of programs are now offering online versions of their courses.  Normally, the University would not fund student online language study when travel abroad is feasible; however, during the pandemic, students have been allowed to apply for funding to online programs.  Some programs which are now offering online-learning options are noted on the Big List of Programs here; other programs may also offer online courses, so be sure to check with any program in which you are interested.
