PARTNERSHIPS

At ALIF, we help you develop custom and faculty-led programs, taking into consideration short-and long-term strategies, listening carefully to your ideas, and working to create a meaningful program at an affordable cost for students.


We will collaborate with you, your department, and your study abroad office, to develop programs ranging from a week to a full semester, and at any time from September to July (ALIF is closed in August). What you include in your program is completely customizable. Take advantage of ALIF’s expertise and extensive network and consider Fes as your next study abroad destination. See our Why Fes? page for information about this historic city.


  • Location: We support programs at our locations in Fes (both in our central facility in the new city and our traditional riad in the Fes medina). Single-day or overnight academic excursions to other regional locations can be included. See our Academic Excursions page for sample itineraries.
  • Duration: We are flexible when it comes to the dates and duration of custom programs and support January-term, Spring break, Summer, and semester-long programs. Note: ALIF is closed in August.
  • Academics: Our center has fully-equipped classrooms. We can work with you to further enhance the academic experience, including identifying relevant guest lecturers or adjunct faculty to teach an additional course.
  • Accommodations: You may select between homestays or arrange your own accommodations. More information is available on our housing page page.
  • Logistics: We arrange for local transportation passes, excursions, meals, museum entrances, performance tickets, airport transfers, and more.
