UT to Grow Arab Studies Opportunities

 

The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, is expanding opportunities for students to learn about the Arab world. 



The departments of Religious Studies and Modern Foreign Languages and Literatures have received a grant for $195,103 from the U.S. Department of Education's Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language Program for the infusion and enhancement of Arab studies. 



This grant, along with a substantial contribution from the College of Arts and Sciences, will create a two-year program, titled "Arabic Language and Culture across the Curriculum," which will create the foundation for establishing an Arab studies minor, and eventually a major.
