Arabic Flagship
We are proud to have hosted an Arabic Flagship Program at UMD since 2007, and to have sent cohorts to study Arabic overseas on the intensive Flagship Capstone Year. Unfortunately, due to government funding cuts in the 2024 budget cycle, the program will no longer be offered at UMD as of May 31, 2024. Current students will finish the program by May 2025.
The Arabic Flagship’s mission is to create the next generation of global professionals who speak Arabic at a professional level and possess deep knowledge about the many cultures of the modern Middle East. Our Arabic Flagship Program at UMD was hosted until 2024 as part of a rigorous Arabic program that continues to offer a major and a minor and provide a strong and vibrant community for Arabic learning.
