Launched in fall 2025, the Certificate in Arabic at Rutgers-Newark offers RU-N students a credential to demonstrate language proficiency and cultural competency in Arabic language and culture. 

The certificate requires students to show Arabic language competency through the advanced level combined with coursework in translation/translation studies, cultural studies and history. The Certificate is independent of the Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies (MEIS) minor, but students who wish to complete the Arabic Certificate and the MEIS minor will have the opportunity to share up to 6 credits between the two programs.
