Arabic 101
Arabic 101 is the first of four on-campus Arabic courses intended to prepare you for studies in the Arab world. Years later students often recall fondly their teacher and classmates who helped them venture into Arab culture, learn the Arabic writing system, and how to hold one's own in daily conversations. During Arabic 101 students complete Alif Baa and the first five units of Al-Kitaab Book One.

Arabic 202
Arabic 202 is the final on-campus course on the path to study abroad, and it is designed as an on-ramp to BYU's Jordan program. At the end of the course, students will have completed Al-Kitaab Book Two, familiarized themselves with the entire Arabic verbal system, and learned how to digest Arabic news media on a regular basis.

JORDAN SA
BYU's Arabic study abroad in Jordan has made a name for itself as an effective immersive experience that brings many participants to advanced proficiency each year. One of BYU's Arabic faculty directs the program in person each Fall semester to make sure that each cohort gets the most out of their time abroad. Students take classes and work with speaking partners at Qasid Arabic Institute, learn to comfortably read and discuss Arabic news media, and spend at least 10 hours a week speaking wtih Arabs on their own time.
