In the post-9/11 world there is an urgent need to better understand the culture, language and politics of the Middle East. IFSA-Butler's new Egypt University Programs are helping students become part of solution to greater peace and understanding. Located at four renowned universities in Cairo and Alexandria, the programs give students a solid, intensive academic structure, valuable cultural experiences and language instruction.
Our Egypt University Programs allow students to focus on the academic concentration of their choice: Arabic language; politics and/or economics, Middle Eastern music; or Egyptology and Arabic literature. Each concentration features a curriculum of core courses, study of the two key languages in Egypt, and optional electives, independent study or university courses taught in English alongside Egyptian students.
IFSA-Butler's Egypt University Programs offer instruction in both Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Colloquial Egyptian. Both languages are part of the core curriculum and are integral to everyday life in Egypt. MSA is the formal, literary version of Arabic. It is recognized in written form across the Middle East, but spoken MSA is heard only in extremely formal communications. Colloquial Egyptian is the conversational language of Egypt and is typically used on television and in the movies.

Sorry, I could not read the content fromt this page.TRIPOLI, April 13 (Reuters) - Libya has deposited $2 billion in Egypt's central bank deducted from investments Tripoli has inside its neighbour, the central bank governor said on Saturday.
Speaking to Reuters, Saddeq Omar Elkabber said the amount was a "central bank deposit not a loan", but did not give further details.
"Libya's investments in Egypt total around $10 billion. These are in banks, property and other sectors," he said.
"Egyptian stability is important for Libya," he said. "This is like when the European Union helped Greece."
Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan told Reuters "there was no loan" made to Egypt but added the Libyan central bank "was free to make deposits where it chose".
On Wednesday, the Egyptian state news agency MENA reported Libya would give Egypt a $2 billion five-year, interest-free loan under an agreement signed that day.
It quoted a finance ministry official as saying the loan would have a three-year grace period and was intended "to support the Egyptian economy and the state budget and foreign currency reserves".
Also on Wednesday, Qatar agreed to give Egypt $3 billion more in aid by buying Egyptian government bonds, as the Arab world's most populous nation seeks to secure an IMF loan to ease its deepening economic crisis.
The new financial injections will buy Egypt time as it seeks to avert social unrest over fuel shortages and food price increases during a long, hot summer.
* Egypt has not asked for increase on $4.8 billion loan
* Senior IMF official has said loan size could be changed
* Egypt needs financial help to overcome budget crisis
CAIRO, April 14 (Reuters) - Egypt has not asked the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to increase a $4.8 billion loan it has not yet drawn down, central bank governor Hisham Ramez told al-Shorouk newspaper on Sunday.
On April 2 the IMF's Middle East and Central Asia director said the size of the loan could be changed depending on the country's needs.
Ramez said that Egypt could still request an increase of $1 billion on the loan if the maturity period was extended to more than 30 months from the 22 months agreed last November.
He reiterated the government's position that Egypt would not seek an emergency loan from the global lender and said that talks with an IMF delegation that arrived in Cairo 10 days ago were going well.
The most populous Arab country needs the loan to ease economic strains after two years of political upheaval. Low reserves of foreign currency threaten Egypt's ability to buy in wheat, of which it is the world's biggest importer, and fuel.
President Mohamed Mursi's government postponed implementating the loan in December in the face of unrest triggered by a political row over the extent of his powers.
Any IMF deal is likely to require Cairo commit to tax increases and cuts in subsidies, a highly sensitive issue at a time when Mursi is facing protests over his management of the country before this year's parliamentary elections.
Shortages of subsidised diesel have paralysed transport in parts of Egypt and the Egyptian pound has lost 9 percent of its value against the dollar since late last year.
