academics: overview

YCMES students have the option of choosing between three programs of study:

Program in Arabic Language (PAL): Students who enroll in PAL will take intensive courses in Arabic language exclusively (private or group instruction).

Program in Contemporary Middle East Studies (PCMES): Students who elect PCMES will combine courses in Arabic language with small-group seminars on the contemporary Middle East. These seminars will be taught by distinguished professors from North America, Europe and Yemen (in English).

Center for Business English (CBE): CBE is for Yemeni students and professionals who desire the intercultural and communicative skills that matter in the world of international business today.

For PAL and PCMES, credit is transferred to a home university, generally under pre-approval, through a YCMES transcript. Classes are held on the credit-system, with each course meeting four hours a week for a fourteen-week semester (each course is given a weight of four course credits).
