Program Description
Al Akhawayn University (AUI) is located in the beautiful resort community of Ifrane in the wooded Middle Atlas Mountains about 37 miles from Fez, a formerly rich imperial city and now a protected World Heritage site. The campus is located on several acres of rolling terrain, and consists of large chalets grouped around pleasant squares. This new, state-of-the-art campus offers excellent housing and all the conveniences to visiting students. Montana State University has had a partnership with AUI since its founding, and this unique and wonderful program offers one of the few opportunities U.S. students have to study in North Africa.
