This webpage presents only the field study courses offered by AUC during the winter session. For other courses, please consult the registrar's schedule of classes for a complete list.

The Winter Session provides additional opportunities to students from AUC and outside to take intensive courses for academic credit. Winter Session courses are normally offered during the first three weeks of January.

Extracurricular activities are planned for the students and faculty, including trips and cultural events such as performances of Arabic music and art shows. An informal athletic program offers basketball, volleyball, tennis, soccer, and table tennis. Seminars and special lectures by distinguished visitors are also an occasional part of the Winter Session.

Housing, board, medical, and other university services are provided on the same basis as during the academic year.

You must have completed at least two years of full-time study and one college-level English course at a recognized college or university. Admission is competitive, and completing the application procedure does not guarantee admission.
