UNC Charlotte's exciting new program harnesses the talents of faculty from the College of Arts and Sciences. Currently UNC Charlotte is the only university in the Carolinas outside the Raleigh-Durham area to offer Arabic language instruction, which may be counted toward the minor's required 18 hours. In addition to 9 hours in designated core courses, students design a program of study in consultation with their advisors to reflect their academic interests. Study abroad opportunities are encouraged.
