Support throughout your language journey

The Arabic Flagship is offered through the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies in collaboration with the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures. We work hand in hand with various teams and units of the Hamilton Lugar School, the College of Arts and Sciences, governmental programs, and educational institutes to provide world-class Arabic-language education and programming.

The Language Flagship is a national effort to change the way Americans study language and represents a partnership between government, education, and business. Through the Flagship, language programs in Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, and Turkish have been established in universities across the country. The program’s mission is to create global professionals whereby undergraduate students reach Superior proficiency in a target language.
