Minor in Arabic
The minor in Arabic emphasizes language study while also recognizing the importance of learning about areas of the world where Arabic is spoken through work in fields such as literature, history, anthropology, and religion. This program will be of particular interest to students interested in careers in education, business, government, or other professions where Arabic language proficiency is important.
The minor requires a minimum of three Arabic language courses and three specified content courses. The minor can be taken only as part of an undergraduate degree program, and is awarded at the time of graduation. A minimum grade of C- must be earned in all courses used for the minor. Students who place out of one or more Arabic language courses must replace those requirements with electives approved by their Arabic faculty advisor.
