Summer 2009 Arabic Program

for University Students
 

The Yemen Language Center offers five-week packages including round trip airfare (optional), Arabic instruction at all levels, housing, and meals at a discounted price for university students. The YLC/YCMES Summer Arabic Program is the first and only summer Arabic program in Yemen to be accredited by the Ministry of Higher Education & Scientific Research.  The YLC offers three five-week sessions, and students may enroll in just one (5 weeks), two (10 weeks), or all three (15 weeks).

 

Now, students who have previously studied at the YCMES or YLC and are still in University can return with a 25% discount on University Student Tuition. Please state on your application that you are a returning student and our Program Officer will contact you for specific returning-student prices. Previous YLC students who have graduated from University can now return to the YLC and still pay the University Student price. These discounts are only valid for those who have studied at the YCMES/YLC before.

 

To begin the application process, email ylc@ycmes.org.  Apply early, spaces fill quickly!
