Universities with French and Arabic

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hello,
I am currently a student at a community college and am looking to transfer with in the next year or two. I am attempting to be a foreign language major and would like to study French, Arabic, and Italian. I am Intermediate level French and beginning level 1 Arabic this month. I have been hopelessly looking for schools that offer French and Arabic, but ahve only found a few. I have found many schools with French and Italian but not with Arabic. Does anyone know of ANY schools that would help me finish my foreign language studies? At some point I would like to be a translator, teach English, etc. in another country, but I am finding it very difficult to find a school that meet my needs. </p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated!</p>

<p>For California public universities, [Welcome</a> to ASSIST](<a href=“http://www.assist.org%5DWelcome”>http://www.assist.org) lists the following Arabic majors, which presumably means that Arabic language and literature courses are available:</p>

<p>Arabic B.A. (UCLA)
Arabic Language, Literature and Culture B.A. (CSUSB)
Middle East Studies B.A. (UCSB)</p>

<p>Also, the Near Eastern Studies department at Berkeley offers Arabic language and literature courses:

<p>Some other schools (in California or otherwise) may offer Arabic language and literature courses but not a major.</p>

<p>UC Berkeley! Its French department is one of the best in the country - and overall in languages, few universities can offer you so much. When I was a student there, you could literally study ANY LANGUAGE. ANY. And that included languages not spoken for centuries… like, ancient Tibetan :)</p>
