Purpose Statement

Students who satisfy the requirements of the minor in Arabic are expected to have the ability to read and write Arabic texts at the intermediate level and interact effectively in the spoken language.  In addition to language, students are also expected to be familiar with the different cultural nuances in the Arab world in a number of themes, among others, greetings, housing, education, food and dress etiquette. Students who complete the minor are able to write short papers in Arabic, communicate at a level that would be understood by native and non-native speakers of Arabic, locate Arab countries on the map and perform conversational tasks that allow them to function effectively and efficiently in daily life when they communicate with native speakers and/or when they are abroad. Students who complete the Arabic minor have the necessary foundational base to advance their proficiency in the Arabic language, the opportunity to gain intercultural understanding and the ability to better compete in the international market.
