Arabic Flagship Program - Graduate

Due to the discontinuation of federal funding, the Graduate Flagship program will be discontinued and the University of Maryland will not offer a Master of Professional Studies (MPS) or Graduate Certificate in Arabic for the upcoming 2012-2013 academic year. We are hoping to develop an alternative MPS program with a study abroad component for future students. Please continue to check our Web site for program developments and updates.

Thank you to all 2012-2013 applicants for your interest. You will be refunded the University of Maryland Graduate application fee. Please contact the Office of Extended Studies, oes@umd.edu, for further questions or details about this refund.

If you have not yet applied, please do not do so.

If you are still interested in an intensive domestic language learning experience for summer 2012, please consider our Arabic Summer Institute. For more information, click here .
