Bachelor of Science in Arabic Studies: Language and Culture

Arabic language is fundamentally different from English, no doubt. Unlike in English, the Arabic alphabet consists of 28 letters with no distinct upper and lower case letter forms, and is written from right to left. But don't let minor differences such as these trick you! These 28 letters are key to your next cultural adventure or future rewarding career.

Arabic is a Semitic language; you probably already know that. What you might not have noticed before is the fact that you are already speaking some Arabic! Check out some examples of the many Arabic words that have found their way into English: alcohol, algebra, chemistry, artichoke, apricot, candy, carat (gold purity), cotton, gazelle, giraffe, jar, jasmine, jinn, umper, lemon, mummy, mask, orange, syrup, etc.

Arabic classes allow you to explore the language and culture in a way that you never have before. Dr. Abla Hasan works to not only share her experience with you, but her curriculum also brings in people from all across the Arabic speaking world. There are also many extracurricular cultural events and speakers throughout the year to supplement your studies. Find out more about Arabic classes to see if they're right for you!
