The Arabic Studies Program

Our program offers opportunities to study the Arabic language at the beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels, as well as courses in Arabic literature and culture in English. Descriptions of individual courses are available below.

There is at present no major offered in Arabic, but we invite students to consider our minor in Arabic. In addition, students studying Arabic can major in Global Studies with a Middle East Concentration.

We encourage our students to study abroad in an Arabic-speaking country. While we do not as yet have our own programs, we advise students on the programs that are available throughout the Arabic world. For more information regarding study abroad, see the Reves Center website.
