Illinois Wesleyan University recently established a student exchange program with Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane (AUI), Morocco. The program affords IWU students a special opportunity to live and study in Morocco at an American-style university while earning general education and discipline-specific credit.
The university comprises three schools: the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, the School of Science and Engineering, and the School of Business Administration. AUI has about 1500 students, as well as approximately 160 exchange students from 28 countries. The student-to-faculty ratio is 12 to 1, and the average class size is 17. |

IWU students can study at AUI for a semester (fall or spring), a full academic year, or for an 8-week summer session, during which time they can pursue General Education credit, Arabic language study, and/or discipline-specific coursework. Located in the beautiful resort community of Ifrane in the Middle Atlas Mountains, the AUI campus occupies over 90-acres of rolling terrain. Campus facilities include a state-of-the art library; 16 student residence buildings; and an athletic center with an indoor Olympic swimming pool, soccer fields, track, and regulation tennis courts. The Imperial Cities if Fes and Meknes are only an hour away, the capital city of Rabat on the Atlantic coast is about 2 hours away, and the Sahara desert is just a 6-hour drive to the south.
