The Arabic program offers four years of instruction in language, literature, and culture. Students may minor or major in Arabic. We offer three different tracks to declaring Arabic as a major: one-language (Arabic) track; two-language (Arabic and another MLL language) track; and the interdisciplinary (Arabic and another discipline) track.
Students in our yearlong course for beginners, Intensive Introductory Arabic, meet four times a week with the professor and three times a week with an Apprentice Teacher (TA) for practice sessions. The TAs are fellow undergraduate students who are either native speakers or advanced students of Arabic. Second- and third-year Arabic, i.e. intermediate and advanced classes, are taught as language courses. Fourth-year Arabic courses, however, are thematic courses taught in Arabic, such as “Introduction to Arabic Translation Studies,” “Modern Arabic Poetry” and “Media Arabic.”
