I am interested in learning Arabic and have no background in it. Are the courses/professors good at Northwestern? I’m wondering because I saw that there is no major/minor in Arabic alone, just Arabic courses as part of the Middle East and North African Studies department.
Are you already committed to Northwestern? If not, depending on what you want to ultimately do with Arabic, you might want to consider a school that is part of the Arabic Language Flagship Program: https://www.thelanguageflagship.org/content/arabic
I did not apply to any of those schools… I am choosing between Northwestern and WashU
Both are great options, @soontobecolleger. Best of luck to you!
