Arabic Language and Culture Certificate

New Military personnel enrolled in this certificate are eligible to receive an Acer Aspire One mobile personal computer.  Students utilizing the ultra mobile device can complete large portions of each course without access to the Internet but will require some Internet connectivity for instructor interaction and assignment submission.

This three-course, 12 semester hour certificate program incorporates the five C’s (Communication, Culture, Connections, Comparisons and Communities) set forth in Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century, 2006, which is endorsed by the National Capital Language Resource Center and the American Association of Teachers of Arabic.

Tuition
Tuition for each course is currently fixed at $153.54 per semester hour ($614.16 per 4-hour course) for the 2009-2010 Academic Year.

Upon completion of a non-degree seeking application, an advisor will contact students to make plans for shipping the mobile device and accompanying materials to the location specified by the student.
