​The Center for Arab and Middle Eastern Middle Studies (CAMES) at the American University of Beirut offers a seven-week program in Lebanese Arabic that offers intensive instruction at three levels: Introductory, Intermediate and Advanced. The program is designed for students who want to develop proficiency in Lebanese Arabic and thus places heavy emphasis on the speaking and listening skills and on building intercultural competence. The Lebanese Arabic program offers students 9 credit hours which can be transferred to their home institutions.​​ This program is highly demanding, so students are expected to be totally committed and ready to attend classes and do homework on a daily basis. The typical daily workload entails 6 hours of classroom instruction and a minimum of 4 to 5 hours of homework.​
