The<br>program goal is to develop a group of highly proficient Arabic speakers who<br>can function professionally in the Arabic language, as part of an increasing<br>recognition that our nation needs more citizens who speak the Arabic<br>language and understand the culture.<br><br>Undergraduate students are selected for our program based on their academic<br>potential, demonstrated interest in advancing their Arabic skills, and<br>desire to share their understanding of this language and culture within the<br>larger community. In addition to their disciplinary studies, students<br>participate in advanced-level Arabic studies, including content-based<br>classes delivered in Arabic, advanced Arabic language classes, and study<br>abroad. <br><br>Our program website is available at <a href="http://www.arabicflagship.msu.edu/" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">http://www.arabicflagship.msu.edu/</a>.
