Arabic - Beginning, Microcredential (Madrid)

The microcredential in beginning Arabic consists of six required credit hours offered at Saint Louis University-Madrid only. Satisfactory completion of the required courses allows the student to develop the skills to conduct beginning-level communication in Arabic through the acquisition of appropriate vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing, listening comprehension, speaking capabilities, and an introduction to Arabic-speaking culture.

The microcredential in beginning Arabic aligns itself with similar programs both at SLU-Madrid, and in the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures in St. Louis, in that it is designed to help students gain a broader understanding of themselves, as well as the languages and cultures of others.

Students who do not achieve the "C" or better grade in a required course will be expected to repeat the course in an attempt to achieve the "C" or better grade. Students may repeat a required course one time. Failure to achieve the "C" or better grade after one repeat attempt will have the student dismissed from the microcredential in Beginning Arabic.
