Newest IMBA Arabic Trackers in Morocco
The second class enrolled in the Arabic Track of the Moore School’s International Master of
Business Administration (IMBA) program is composed of five military officers who are currently
studying the language in the Middle East.
“They will be studying Modern Standard Arabic until August,” said Dr. David Hudgens, director of Moore’s Arabic Track.
This IMBA class, which includes four U.S. Army officers (one of them female) and one reservist with the Air National Guard, is expected to graduate in May 2008.
The third class in the Arabic Track that will enroll this fall will be an open enrollment class, i.e., open to military students and also—for the first time since the Arabic Track was reinstituted in 2005—to civilians. Those enrolling this fall will likely undertake the Moore School’s longer three-year program of study, Hudgens said, which will include studying “ in the Middle East for 12 months followed by a six-month internship… most likely in the Persian Gulf region.”
In the early 1990s in the aftermath of the first Gulf War, the Moore School suspended the IMBA program’s Arabic Track. But it was reinstituted two years ago because of interest from the military (because of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan) and also from private industry.
