Please note that regardless of what class you are placed in at Qasid, you will be eligible to
receive credit for the next Hunter course in the sequence. For example: if you complete ARB
201 at Hunter before going to Jordan, no matter what class you are placed in there, you can
receive credit for ARB 202 at Hunter (as long as you successfully complete the course in
Jordan with a grade of C or better). Please note, however, that if you receive credits for 102,
202 or 302 for classes taken in Jordan, the next courses in the Arabic sequence won't be
offered at Hunter until the following fall semester. The only way to continue with Arabic at
Hunter in the spring semester right after our January in Jordan program would be to receive
elective credit for the course you take in Jordan and then take 102, 202 or 302 at Hunter.
Visits and Excursions
In addition to classroom study, students will make 3 trips during their stay: a two-night trip to
Wadi Rum and Petra and day trips to Ajloun Castle and the Dead Sea. Students will be in class 3
hours a day, 5 days a week. Each small class will have two instructors assigned to it. Students
will also have access to Qasid Institute's general events such as singing and poetry night and
guest lectures.
