The Arabic Minor provides students with an attractive mixture of introductory, intermediate, and advanced classes that focus on the Arabic-speaking world, both globally and in the United States. Studies include language, culture, literature, and linguistics content to provide a broad spectrum of Arabic knowledge. The Minor is focused on presenting the Arab world outside of the political turmoil and stereotyping associated with it, privileging instead how Arab voices interpret their own civilizations through fields in the humanities.
