National Middle East Language Resource Center: "Its mission is to both increase and improve opportunities for learning the languages of the Middle East. It does so through its own projects and by working with others to coordinate efforts."

US Distance Arabic Learning Network: "The Network, a consortium of universities led by Montana State University (MSU), is committed to expanding opportunities for students to study Arabic language and Islamic culture. The Network fosters the efforts of U.S. higher education to promote better relations with the Arab world, to address U.S. national security needs, and to assist students to prepare for careers relating to the Arab world. While many institutions would like to offer Arabic, the costs of a traditional Arabic program in today's fiscal environment often makes that impossible. The Network offers an affordable, innovative, and effective instructional alternative that was developed by MSU over the last 13 years. The expansion of the Network was supported by a grant from the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) of the U.S. Department of Education. "
