Arabic is the 4th most-commonly spoken language in the world. There are many reasons to consider studying Arabic:
- There is a high demand and low supply of Arabic speakers in the U.S.
- The State Department has named Arabic a “critical language”.
- There are a lot of financial incentives for studying Arabic in the U.S.
- With the fast-growing market for trade, the demand for Arabic speakers is only going up.
- Learning Arabic heightens intercultural understanding.
Careers in Arabic are anywhere that communications between or with Arab nations can be found. This includes diplomacy, international and political studies, intelligence, business, journalism, religious studies, marketing, history, tourism, translation, interpretation, anthropology, and linguistics.
