<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Universities in the US with established programs for the Arabic language apparently offer specialized courses in "business & management Arabic" (BMA) only as advanced electives. That paucity of offerings in BMA seems largely due to the low and sporadic demand, plus the expansion of the overall field of "business" into areas or applications which necessitate building specific curricula and bilingual vocabularies applicable to the business, profession or industry.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Best I recall, some universities which offer, or can design and conduct, such courses include:</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">

<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">When some colleagues and I designed and taught some courses in BMA on behalf of companies involved in educating and integrating Arabic-prevalent adults in their programs for management of technology transfers and absorption of technologies, each course required very labor-intensive effort to define, research, develop, and validate the course's objectives and contents before its presentation.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Look forward to learning from other respondents about universities in the US and Canada which offer courses in Business Arabic.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
