The diverse array of courses are taught in French (with the exception of Arabic courses). Colloquial Moroccan Arabic is required, and blended Modern Standard and colloquial Arabic is available as an optional course. Homestays with local French-speaking Moroccan families grant students an intimate look at the local culture as they hone their language skills in a distinctly non-European Francophone environment. Students also have the opportunity to take a Community-Based Learning course allowing students to work directly with local organizations. The program also includes exciting organized excursions around Morocco.
