Important Information about the Arabic Minor

SAU partners with Kelsey Language Institute in Amman, Jordan, to offer Arabic language and culture courses over two semesters. Courses are taught in a Christian context with a focus on an oral approach. Students will select courses in advanced Arabic grammar, phonetics, conversation and advanced Arabic culture, and will use emerging Arabic skills to build relationships with Indigenous peoples. Students must attend a CCS workshop at least a year in advance. COR 374 and COR 375 are met with this minor.
