Arabic offers many opportunities for employment, scholarships, and locations to visit where the language is spoken (it is the official language for over 25 countries)! Studying Arabic can help in you in fields like
- Political Science
- Criminal Justice
- Business
- Education
- Journalism
- Law
- Linguistics
- Social Work
- Religious Studies
- African Studies
- Comparative Literature
- Finance and Banking
- Translation and Interpretation
- Consulting, Foreign Service and Intelligence
Not to mention international organizations and NGOs such as the United Nations, World Bank, and USAID, which are in need of Arabic speakers and those with an understanding of the Arab Cultures.
There are also prestigious scholarships for Arabic that require some study of language like the Critical Language Scholarship, which allows you to study for a summer in the Middle East and covers your continued study of Arabic, your travel to the program and program-sponsored travel within the host country, as well as your room and board!
So give Arabic a try! ARAB 110 meets MWF from 1:30-2:20 pm.
