Course Minor

Requirements

Students must complete a minimum of 5 credits in courses numbered 004 or above, including at least one course from the selection of ARAB 021, ARAB 022, ARAB 023, ARAB 030, and ARAB 041. Of the 5 minimum credits, 4 should be achieved in courses taught in Arabic rather than in translation. Students may take one Arabic literature course (1 credit) in translation, or a relevant course from another department, with the approval of the section. Only one course may overlap with a major or a second minor. A minimum of 3 credits should be taken at Swarthmore. Students are strongly encouraged to study abroad in a section-approved program; two credits of pre-approved study abroad transfer credit may be counted toward the minor. Students who wish to do an honors minor in Arabic are encouraged to discuss the requirements with the Arabic section head.
