Designed to the highest academic standards, the YCMES hosts visiting professors from around the world, who teach an array of courses in contemporary Middle Eastern studies, complementing the Arabic courses offered.Building on its reputation and experience in the area of language instruction, and in response to the increased demand in the business world for excellence in English, the Yemen College of Middle Eastern Studies has established the Center for Business English (CBE) as part of the Program in English Language (PEL).
