Studying abroad in Meknes?
International Students Abroad (ISA), a program based in Austin Texas, will take U.S. students to Meknes to study at Moulay Ismail University (ISA is also opening programs in Prague and Brussels). The students sent to Meknes will study Arabic language as well as Moroccan culture and society.
Interesting choice. Moulay Ismail University teaches almost entirely in French, with the exception of the English Literature degree program, so this ISA program will probably add new courses to the curriculum. Also, I bet I know several of the professors who will be involved (many of my colleagues teach at the university as well).
Still, it’s nice to see a program that will bring American students to Meknes, as the only study abroad programs (aside from language-specific programs at ALIF and such) currently in existence are with Al Akhawayn in Ifrane and Cadi Ayyad University in Marrakesh.

It is pretty interesting as news. But will a new section be created especially for them? And what will it be? Has they studied Arabic as a groundwork? Which kind of career will they be proposed to? A lot of questions are posed as you see!

Odd, such a program existed some 15 years ago, I ran into Americans who were at Meknes. It was, I believe, a staggering failure although someone told me that Moulay Ismail’s staff had been hired awayin 1995 to Al Akhawayn.
