Our Work

Learning for Practitioners

OVERVIEW

Learning for Practitioners (LfP) is a series of short term programs developed specifically for faculty, administrators, and staff at US educational institutions, members of professional institutions, and Amideast alumni. Each program is developed with a specific theme in mind, with an overall goal of introducing participants to the wide range of opportunities in our host countries, as well as familiarizing them with the local culture and host cities.

Amideast Community College Scholars Fund

About Amideast Community College Scholars Fund

Financial obstacles are the greatest barrier to studying abroad that U.S. college students face. Community college students, who at any one time constitute more than 40% of U.S. undergraduates, generally constitute no more than 2% of those studying abroad, and fewer U.S. study abroad students travel to the Middle East and North Africa than to any other region of the world.

Students on this program will have the opportunity to directly enroll at AUD to participate in one or two summer sessions, which are each 7 weeks long. With ABET, AACSB, NAAB and numerous other accreditations, AUD's many schools and departments allow students from a wide variety of academic majors to engage their disciplines with professors and peers from around the world in a MENA region context. The American University in Dubai is patterned on the American model of higher education and classes are taught in English.
