Welcome to the Suffolk County Community College Arabic Immersion Program
Why Learn Arabic?
Arabic Language is a Semitic language of the Afro-Asiatic family. It is the official language in 22 countries and one of the official languages used in the United Nations. Arabic is considered the official liturgical language of Islam for more than one billion Muslims around the world.
Also, the increasing diversity of American society, the political atmosphere and the involvement of the US in the Middle East brings the need for greater understanding and proficiency in the Arabic language and culture.
Arabic is currently one of the fastest-growing foreign languages on the nation's colleges and universities and one of the most requested classes for students seeking careers in Arab countries, UN, military intelligence, translation, communication, business, or homeland security jobs.
There is a high demand and low supply of Arabic speakers in the Western world. Join now and don’t miss this great opportunity!
