The Arabic Language Certification is a three-year program designed to take a student from knowing absolutely no Arabic to advanced Arabic. The only pre-requisite is that a student must be able to recite/read the Arabic text (ie. Quran). The program covers a step by step approach to learning Grammar and Morphology, as well as the application of language when approaching the Quran. Students will learn to appreciate the language of the Quran and be able to read and compose Arabic sentences by the end of the program.

This program will provide students the ability to read Arabic literature including the Qur’an by the end of the program, as well as compose in the Arabic language.
