Students will acquire intermediate proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing in modern standard Arabic language and Levantine vernacular. Proficiency in the Arabic language and culture equips students for professional opportunities, which can be found in education, international business, law, nursing, social work, government and armed forces. It trains students in all aspects of language skills and connects language learning with other disciplines.
The interdisciplinary Arabic Language Studies and Culture Minor provides students with an understanding of the importance of the Arab world and Islamic cultures in today鈥檚 global community. The minor includes an array of classes that provide students with knowledge of the major Arabic literary genres, linguistic skills, historical, religious, cultural, political, and geographical aspects of the Arab world and Islamic civilization.
The minor consists of six courses (19 cr. hrs.): four required Arabic language courses (13 cr. hrs.), and two elective courses (6 cr. hrs.) as listed below. The minor excludes ARBC 1001 Elementary Arabic 1.

"Deciding to minor in Arabic was one of the best decisions I made at Marquette. Learning Arabic is more than just learning a language; it's also learning about culture and history. My Arabic studies have been invaluable to me, and having a unique skill like Arabic on my applications even helped me gain acceptances and scholarships at several top law schools!" - Allie Bitz |
