Overview

Bucknell University's program includes both Modern Standard Arabic and Spoken Arabic (colloquial Levantine dialects). Your faculty will bring cultural context alive with authentic materials such as Arabic newspapers and magazines, songs and videos, Middle Eastern cuisine and video conferences with native speakers.

The Arabic and Arab World Studies program is designed to get you speaking the language as quickly as possible — by the end of the first year, your classes will be conducted almost entirely in Arabic.

Immerse Yourself in the Language

The Arabic Studies program offers a three-week summer study abroad program in Nazareth, Israel. For more information, please visit our Bucknell in Nazareth page or contact the director of the program, Professor Martin Isleem
