Language course offerings will be Beginning Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), Intermediate MSA, Upper Intermediate MSA or Conversational MSA (advanced). In addition to the language course, students will also receive a short, intensive course in Egyptian colloquial Arabic upon arrival. Students receive 6 hours of transfer credit for the intensive language course.
Dr. Lanzoni will be teaching MES 210. Egypt: 5000 Years as a Crossroads of Civilization. For 5 millenia Egypt has served as a crossroads, with the Pharaonic kingdom experiencing waves of invading cultures--Greek, Roman, Muslim Arab, Ottoman Turk, European--all of which have left a distinctive mark on the Egypt of today. From King Tut through Cleopatra, the Virgin and Child, Amr ibn al-As, Saladin, and Napoleon, this course will be a modern-day journey through time with visits to sites bringing historical readings to life.
