Arabic
Program Overview
The Arabic program offers elementary and intermediate-level core classes on a yearly basis (111 and 211 in the fall, 112 in the spring). Students interested in pursuing higher-level courses can do so through study abroad and/or the ACTC consortium in consultation with the department.
The primary goal of the Arabic program at St. Thomas is to provide students with the opportunity to:
- Learn basic and intermediate levels of Modern Standard Arabic through speaking, listening, writing and reading activities
- Develop cultural knowledge and intercultural skills
- Explore the study of Arabic language and cultures as an integral part of a liberal arts education
- Prepare for study abroad opportunities
