Program in Arabic Language at the Yemen College of Middle Eastern Studies
The Yemen College of Middle Eastern Studies (YCMES) is a
fully accredited, non-profit college that provides students and
scholars from around the world the opportunity to develop a complex
knowledge of the Arabic language and the contemporary Middle East.
Students can study at YCMES for 5, 10, or 15 weeks, or more -- programs
are tailored to meet students' needs.
Sana’a, Yemen is an ideal location for language acquisition and cultural
immersion. Unlike many other Middle Eastern cities where English and/or
French are pervasive, Sana’a is one of the few remaining places in the
world where Arabic is spoken exclusively. In short, it is nearly
impossible to remain isolated in a Western bubble.
