The UW-Madison Arabic and Persian Immersion Program recently completed its 6th summer of top-flight language education.

The 2009 program was held for the first time on the UW-Madison campus with 18 students enrolled in Arabic classes and 15 students enrolled in Persian classes. The move to the Madison campus was considered a resounding success for students and staff alike.

Madison gives students the opportunity to interact with numerous native speakers, enjoy field trips and excursions, and partake of the many middle-eastern restaurants in the area.  Student feedback clearly deemed both the program and the move to Madison a rousing success.

The APIP Executive Committee is now preparing for APIP 2010, June 12-August 7, 2010 at UW-Madison. APIP again promises to offer unlimited challenges to students willing to spend eight weeks learning Arabic or Persian in a most unique manner.
