Center for Arabic Study Abroad @AUC (CASA@AUC)
WORLD’S PREMIER ARABIC LANGUAGE PROGRAM
The Center for Arabic Study Abroad (CASA) was established in AUC in 1967 by a consortium of American Universities committed to supporting intensive advanced Arabic language and culture study to advanced undergraduates, graduates and professors. More than 1,500 students have graduated from this distinguished program since its inception. AUC now holds its own CASA@AUC program under its Center for Advanced Arabic Study in Cairo (CAASIC) program, administered exclusively by AUC, and various other CAASIC Advanced Language Programs.



Last year, I was part of the prestigious CASA@AUC program. I’m very thankful to have finally gotten into the TAFL program at AUC and excited to embark on this journey. Masr minawara bi ahlaha (Egyptian people make the country what it is).

I immersed myself, absorbing Arabic and the Egyptian culture. Not only was I able to meet some of my best friends and become proficient in Arabic, but my own core beliefs in life's purpose dramatically transformed.

For people in the Middle East, and Egypt in particular, being friendly and polite is taken for granted. You walk down the street here and exchange more niceties in a morning than you do in a year in other places.
