Admission Process

Admissions are open all year long.

IAP Semester Sessions

There are two semesters per year; the Fall semester begins from September and the Spring semester starts from March.

However, an IAP semester is divided into two sessions; Session 1 and Session 2. The duration of each session is 2.5 months and contains one IAP ARB course. Therefore, it can be summarized as, during one semester of IAP you enroll in and study two courses.

IAP ARB 100 (Pre-beginners)

ARB 100 is a 6-month course designed for those who do not know how to read the Arabic script.

This course does not follow the 2.5 month IAP sessions.

The course develops Arabic reading and writing skills gradually and logically without requiring the learner to memorize all 28 letters of the alphabet and their 112 variations before learning to read and write. It has been modified with English explanations and presentations to further simplify the learning process for adult English speakers.

Do you need to enroll in ARB 100?

If you are a complete beginner to Arabic or not fluent in reading Arabic script (e.g., you have trouble reading the Quran), you will be required to complete the Arabic 100 course before joining the Intensive Arabic Program.
