Arabic and Persian Language Flagships

Hi everyone! I have a couple questions for anyone who has participated in, is participating in, or knows someone who has participated in the Middle Eastern language flagships at the school.

Would it be possible to do both the Arabic and Persian Flagship programs throughout my time (assuming I major in both of the languages and not something else)?

How many times do classes meet a week and how much time do they take up generally out of one’s schedule (including studying and all that stuff)?

Is it hard to get admitted into the program and what’s the application process like?

Any input on your own experiences or experiences that you observed other students having would be immensely appreciated!!!

@reinian18 - I can’t provide any specific answers to your questions, but the following 2 links list all of the Arabic and Persian courses that are being offered for Fall 2017. The list changes for Spring. If you click on “Show Sessions” it will display the days and times that the courses are offered. Be aware that you will also have to take a certain number of GenEd courses to graduate.
