Professional
School Programs The Lauder MBA/MA Summer Immersion Program in Arabic Interest in the Middle East has expanded to other schools and disciplines at Penn. Most notably, we are playing a crucial role in the institutionalization of Arabic and Middle East studies in the Lauder Program of the Wharton School of Business. The Lauder Institute and the Middle East Center, with Dr. Roger Allen as the Chair of its Executive Committee, have been working together to develop Lauder's Arabic pilot program. The Lauder Institute's combined MBA/MA joint degree prepares graduate students to excel in international business, combining an outstanding management education with exposure to Middle East culture, politics, economy, and intensive immersion in the Arabic language. During the two-year program, students spend a quarter of their time in the region. The program begins with cultural immersion in Morocco and Dubai (first summer) and entails an internship (second summer) with a multinational company requiring extensive use of Arabic. The Morocco segment of the program covers language and culture. The Dubai component allows students to more extensively explore the Arab business environment and meet with businessmen in banking, commercial services, and the information technologies sectors, in addition to US embassy personnel and local journalists. Lauder graduates earn an MBA from Wharton and an MA in International Studies from the University of Pennsylvania's School of Arts and Sciences. For more information, visit their website. Home
