The ISA provides a stipend for one credit-bearing summer study abroad experience for eligible undergraduates receiving a Yale scholarship. You must apply to Yale Study Abroad and be approved for a Yale Summer Session Programs Abroad or Non-Yale Summer Abroad program. Yale Study Abroad does not administer the ISA. For all ISA-related details, including how to request funding, when it gets disbursed, how much funding you can expect, and more, visit the ISA website.

Option 1.) The CET Intensive Arabic Language summer program in Amman offers courses in both formal and informal Arabic. Language partners, local roommates and a language pledge ensure that students return home well versed in Arabic and its contexts.
Option 2.) The CET Jordan Research summer program offers the ability to conduct a directed research project. You commit to a full or limited language pledge and combine one Modern Standard Arabic course, one Jordanian Dialect course (dialect course in the research option can't transfer credit), and a research component. You must contact the Study Abroad Adviser for this program to receive Yale approval for your research topic.
