Have you considered pursuing a major in Arabic?
As an official language of the United Nations and in 22 countries, with an estimated 300 million native speakers, Arabic performs two functions: communicative and religious. Because it is the language of the Quran, more than a billion Muslims around the world use Arabic in some religious capacity. But, most importantly, students major in Arabic because it is the key to cultural exchange and understanding.
MSU’s Arabic faculty members provide a nationally-competitive program that equips students with the excellent communication skills necessary to engage within a globally expanding Arabic-speaking community.
