Responding to the needs of its students and stakeholders, SMU has recently established a Language Center which offers language training in English, French and Arabic. Two state-of-the art language training laboratories have been created with high tech computers, software and facilities that allow for an interactive learning environment.

Today the Language Center offers English training to its students to better prepare them for SMU’s academic programs; French and English training for international students from non-French and non-English speaking countries, such as Libya; and Arabic courses for individuals from non-Arabic countries such as the United States.

SMU aspires to add other languages to its program. The current Language Center is a nucleus leading to the future creation of a language institute within SMU that will offer both beginning and advanced training in different languages.
