recently spoke with Lois Oppenheim, World Languages and Cultures Department Chair, and Professor Mazooz Sehwail about the success of the Arabic Program at Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÔÚÏß.

According to Oppenheim, Arabic currently ranks as the third most popular language offering at Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÔÚÏß, behind only Italian and French. Sehwail mentioned several factors behind Arabic’s rise,  including the Arabic culture’s richness and the large Arab communities in North and Central Jersey. Abundant Arabic-speaking job prospects also boost the appeal of the language.
