"AFP complements my passion for social work, social justice, and public policy by providing a space to practice my language skills and cultural competency. I believe that being part of a community of Arabic language faculty and students - all of whom are learning and growing with you - is essential to confident communication and is useful in any career path."

Aaron 2nd Year Arabic

Aaron, Department of International Relations and Global Studies

"Participating in the Arabic Summer Institute was one of my favorite memories in the flagship program because not only were we completely immersed in the language for ten weeks while being taught by incredible professors, but I got to meet and learn with amazing people from all over the world ranging in age, background, and perspective. And spending the summer in my favorite city of Austin, Texas was also a major plus."

Sally 3rd Year Arabic

Sally, McCombs School of Business

"I enjoy studying Arabic because it forces me to think in a way that is completely different than every other subject while learning a lot about other cultures. I study Business and hope to use my Arabic to conduct business on an international level."
