Empowering Minds
We recognize the growing need for high-quality Arabic language education tailored specifically for part-time schedules. Our mission is to bridge the gap between the demand for a comprehensive Arabic curriculum and the limited availability of such programs. We are committed to providing a conducive learning environment where part-time learners can thrive, expand their linguistic horizons, and deepen their understanding of the Arabic language. The part-time learning program is thoughtfully designed to provide an immersive education for those seeki
ng to understand the Arabic language while balancing other commitments. Students without any requisite knowledge can enroll in this curriculum. Throughout the one-year program, students grow to understand Arabic syntax, morphology, and grammar, while delving deep into Quranic comprehension, Hadith understanding, Tajweed, and the spiritual wisdom found in the teachings of Rasulullah ﷺ
Program Overview
The goal of this program is to equip students with the linguistic, spiritual, and religious knowledge necessary to engage with Islamic texts and teachings with confidence and depth. The first year of the part-time Arabic Program is a comprehensive curriculum consisting of six courses. While the core curriculum comprises four courses, students have the option to enroll in these separately if desired. Further program details can be found in the Program Catalog.
