Description: IQRA Institute Programs are unique because they provide different programs for people with different needs and backgrounds, especially the needs of university students.

Our Programs are especially successful because they provide complete immersion in Arab language, culture and society. In-class instruction is accompanied by tours, visits, trips, and other activities that enrich the students' learning experience, and enable them to live, learn, and practice the language in authentic settings.

Our Programs are very carefully designed, based on consultation of top Arabic instructors in both the East and West. They solve the weaknesses found in other programs, in both program design and teaching methodology, and enable students to become proficient in speaking, reading, and writing Arabic in a very short time.

Our Programs are variegated to suit varying student needs and for busy people.
- For graduate students, researchers, those studying Arabic culture, society, and history.
- Students of Arab Origin Raised in Non-Arab Countries, These programs have proved very effective in building on the language backgrounds of such students and ensuring quick learning and benefit.
- For Diplomats and Foreign Employees in the Middle East.
- Those of particular language needs (such as understanding modern media and literature, understanding classical Arabic, or strength-ening particular aspects of their language such as grammar, conversation, writing, and so on).
- A special program for advanced studies in Arabic Arabic morphology (Sarf), rhetoric (Balagha), Arabic literature (Adab)
