Modern Arabic Language and Culture

Why study Modern Arabic?

The Minor and the Certificate in Modern Arabic Language and Culture programs aim to provide a level of language competency – speaking, understanding, reading and writing – in Modern Standard Arabic. In addition, through the inclusion of courses in culture, literature and other related topics offered by Classics, Modern Languages and Linguistics and other departments (History, Religion and Political Science), the programs provide a broad overview of Arabic culture and civilization.

Thanks to Concordia's emphasis on taking an interdisciplinary approach to your field of study, you'll graduate with a depth of knowledge informed by an understanding of how your subject connects to the wider world. You'll be ideally positioned to succeed in a professional role that demands rigorous analytical thinking, sharp communication skills and the ability to approach problem-solving from multiple dimensions.
