En BA i arabiske studier tilbys gjennom Institutt for Midtøsten og Ancient Mediterranean Studies (MEAMS). Arabiske studier fokuserer på arabisk språk og litteratur som en inngangsport til kulturen og sivilisasjonen i den arabisktalende verden.

The concentration in Arabic has an emphasis on developing strong language skills, including literacy and oral communication, along with an in-depth understanding of modern Arabic culture and society. Students concentrating in Arabic are expected to gain fluency in Modern Standard Arabic and a working knowledge of at least one Arabic dialect. Additionally, students will graduate with a strong background in Arab intellectual history, literature, and culture.
