Arabic Studies - Minor
This minor is a valuable complement to the academic portfolio of any student majoring in the humanities, social sciences or natural sciences who wishes to add an international dimension to their intellectual profile.
The minor in Arabic Studies is an academic program open to all students at the university. The minor is interdisciplinary in nature and combines courses in Arabic language and culture with electives in Arabic studies, as well as a capstone project. A minor in Arabic Studies also helps prepare students for careers in education, international development, nonprofit agencies and NGOs, translation and interpreting, public relations and marketing, government service, international law, international business, engineering and research. In addition, Arabic Studies faculty offer study-abroad programs to enrich students' learning experiences and cultural knowledge while helping students attain higher proficiency in the language.
