Overview

The Middle East is the cradle of civilization, the birthplace of the world’s three great monotheistic religions, and stands at the center of both the global economy and many of the key strategic military and political alliances of the United States.

Our Arabic curriculum can accommodate learners of all skill levels. At United States Military Academy at West Point, we teach both Modern Standard Arabic (Fusha) and the Levantine (Shami) dialect simultaneously. This proficiency will give you the skills you need to succeed both as a consumer and practitioner of the language. Finally, you will be given multiple opportunities to travel abroad, either through Summer Immersion or a full semester abroad.

Interact with Arabic at West Point!

Maximize your Arabic experience competing as a delegate in the Model Arab League against other universities, or explore Arab language and culture through films, cuisine, or trip sections in the Arabic Forum.

The Arabic Forum is a platform to learn about the language, people, culture, and religions of the Middle East. Events include Arabic films, conversation table, and trips to restaurants and cultural centers.
