North Africa and France have an intertwined and complex history. Explore the finer details and gain a better understanding of the past and present relationship of these locations over six weeks with the APA Rabat: North Africa and France Comparative Studies program. 

All students follow two courses (4 credit hours each), taught in French, from the following: 
- Migration in the Mediterranean
- (Post)colonial History of the Maghreb
- Gender and Sexuality in Morocco
- Economics of Development in North Africa
- Francophone Literature in the Maghreb

To complement the French content courses, APA arranges customized language support. For one hour each week, students meet individually with a French instructor to focus on specific areas of improvement in oral and written expression and comprehension.

A weekly lesson in Darija (Moroccan dialect of Arabic) provides the foundation for keywords and phrases heard around town.

Participate in a cultural calendar filled with events, activities, and excursions. Each student is placed with a homestay family with all meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) included.

With a two-week extension, students can volunteer at a local NGO.
