Welcome, From The Arabic Flagship Program Director
The Arabic Flagship Program (AFP) at the University of Texas at Austin provides training in Arabic language and cultures at the undergraduate level. AFP students are given the opportunity to reach Superior level proficiency (Level 3 on the ILR government scale) in Arabic while pursuing the undergraduate major of their choice.
The AFP offers a variety of levels of Arabic in addition to intensive summer study at the elementary, intermediate and advanced levels. AFP students also study abroad with our program in Alexandria, Egypt, and Meknes, Morocco.
The AFP is unique in several ways: modest class sizes, dedicated conversation hours, one-to-one weekly mentoring for students—and the largest full time faculty in Arabic, which means that our students have a wide range of Arabic courses to choose from, whatever their level.
At UT, our students take coursework in formal and spoken Arabic (Levantine and Egyptian dialects) and varied content courses in political science, history, geography, economics and religions. Many of these courses include Language Across the Curriculum language components in which students read and discuss primary texts in Arabic. As our students’ Arabic skills progress, we provide them the opportunity to enroll in graduate-level seminars taught exclusively in Arabic on a wide range of topics including politics, religion, literature and culture.
Our Mission
In collaboration with The Language Flagship, the mission of The University of Texas Arabic Flagship Program (AFP) is to graduate students, through advanced language education, with Superior level proficiency in Arabic to create the next generation of global professionals.
