Having Arabic at this school would provide many new opportunities in fields such as foreign relations/ governmental positions and teaching for owu graduates

It truly disappointed me when I learnt that the school was not going to offer Arabic. Arabic is a truly global language and it would only academically enhance any individual who wished to learn it.

Arabic is in huge demand and would really allow our students to benefit as more in our world depends on non-Western languages.

its one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. of course we need to have it on our school's foreign language program.

It would be a highlight for OWU to offer Arabic, and I would've taken it if it was offered.

As an International Studies major, learning Arabic would definitely help me. The language is growing, and a significant population speaks it as a native language. Knowing Arabic would be infinitely valuable to students at OWU.

a 21st century American University that doesn't offer Arabic as a language (while offering Italian??) is clearly behind the curve.

I think expanding the language department would be awesome. I would love to major in my respective language, but the limitations of faculty make it impossible. Arabic would be a wonderful edition to the MFL department.

I would have minored or double majored in foreign language if Arabic had been an option.

I'm a history major and I find the middle east to be my favorite region to study history. To speak arabic would make going there one day far more possible.
