| The program between Brown and the American University of Cairo (AUC) provides an unique opportunity for Brown undergraduates to live and study in a North African nation. Located in the heart of Cairo, AUC offers opportunities to study intensive Arabic as well as numerous courses in Middle East Studies, Egyptology, Archeology and other social sciences and humanities subjects.
Cairo, a city of over 13 million people, offers a wealth of cultural opportunities in a place that functions as a crossroads for the sharing of ideas, leadership and trade. The city combines fascinating aspects of the ancient and modern, the urban and rural all on the banks of the Nile River. The Cairo Museum, the world's richest repository of pharaonic antiquities, is only a short walk from campus, while the pyramids of Giza, the tombs of Saqqara, and the myriad mosques of medieval Cairo are all within an hour's ride.
