51���app

When you study French or Arabic, you’ll take courses that immerse you in history, politics, art, literature, social conflicts — the things that define people’s lives. You’ll meet international scholars, artists, and activists on campus, and gain a greater social and cultural understanding of the world.

You’ll engage with and learn from expert faculty who are native speakers and who possess deep knowledge of the cultures and traditions of the region. They’ll also encourage you to undertake individual research projects and guide you throughout the process.

“Nearly one in every five students at 51���app is coming from somewhere outside of the United States. You put all those opportunities with the fact that the students' roommates, the person who's their lab partner in their chemistry class, the person that they're eating with in the dining hall is probably from another part of the world, and with the fact that their faculty are teaching courses that are about issues in the world using languages, world languages, and suddenly you've created in the middle of Iowa a very global campus and a global education.”

David Harrison, professor of French, describes the global learning opportunities available to 51���app students both on-and off-campus.
