The Minor in Arabic is designed for students who wish to gain a high level of proficiency in Arabic to understand and interact with communities of different ethnicities and cultures in the Middle East. The course work leading to the Minor in Arabic is carefully scaffolded along a set of overarching learning goals that inform the pedagogical tasks employed in each class. The Minor in Arabic is available to all students with at least two years of Arabic language studies or its equivalent. Double-counting note: Weinberg College prohibits double-counting a minor course toward some other major or minor, except where this is explicitly permitted in this catalog. Prerequisites for a minor may double-count. Weinberg College does allow double-counting a minor course, or a prerequisite for a minor, toward a general bachelor's degree requirement (i.e. degree requirements other than majors or minors). Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits. The program offers a 3-course language sequence on the third-year level which is based on work with a language textbook with carefully sequenced grammar and culture exercises. While not mandatory, we encourage our students to take this sequence first. However, native or near native speakers of Arabic skip the third-year sequence. They must select courses from the content-based course list.
