Overview

Key facts:

Though coursework will take place in Modern Standard Arabic, Arabic majors at Middlebury College will study colloquial Arabic while abroad and develop competence in the appropriate use of both language registers. Complementary to the language learning goals, Arabic majors will pursue work in one of two academic disciplines: literature or linguistics.
The purpose of joining language proficiency and disciplinary specialization is to provide Arabic majors with the communicative skills and intellectual background necessary for a meaningful engagement with the Arab world and a critical appreciation of its cultural and intellectual traditions.
