Amman, founded in 7000 B.C., the capital and largest city in Jordan, is situated in a rolling area of northwest Jordan, just twenty-five miles from the Dead Sea. Seven surrounding hills, known as "jabals," helped shape the city. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, having been home to various civilizations over the years – the Ammonites, Assyrians, Persians, Greeks, Nabateans, Romans, Byzantines, and Umayyad Arabs. Today, Amman is a prospering modern metropolis filled with ancient ruins, art galleries, and museums. It serves as a hub for commerce and trade in the Middle East. It is a multicultural and multi-denominational city with a tradition of welcoming refugees and immigrants from nearby countries. The program is based at the University of Jordan, established in 1962, the country's oldest public four-year institution of higher education. Through coursework, extracurricular activities with local peers, internships, or volunteer work, students are expected to "live the language" in the capital of Jordan.

The Qasid Program is an intensive, multi-term course tailored for non-native speakers and heritage learners who wish to excel in Arabic. It is designed for busy professionals and students. For our winter, spring, and fall quarters, we aim to teach the equivalent of a year’s worth of university-level Arabic in under three months and in just nine weeks for our Summer Intensive. Five core levels of instruction — as well as supplementary and advanced studies modules — are offered, focusing on the specific needs of beginner, intermediate, and advanced students. The "Classic Four" skills of reading, writing, listening, and speaking are taught systematically in classrooms that rarely exceed eight students, giving each individual considerable attention. Our instructors are regarded as exceptional, and the curriculum blends a tried-and-true program with innovative techniques to ensure an optimal learning experience for each student.
