Study abroad programs can last for one week or a whole year. They are often life-changing, and the Arabic Studies Program encourages all students to live and study in an Arabic-speaking environment if possible. Students joining a Study Abroad Program can apply and obtain financial help through some scholarships intended for studying abroad. For all available programs that have been approved by the university check out opportunities with IU Indy’s Office of International Affairs and the IU Office of Overseas Study.
IU Bloomington offers a summer intensive Arabic workshop. You commit to communicating in Arabic 24/7 and to live in the language dorm with your fellow students and with Arabic-speaking faculty and staff. This is a proven strategy to advancing your ability to speak, read, and write Arabic. You can earn up to 10 credit hours in two months. Scholarships are available.
