The Metro gave Temple a nod yesterday for its fast-growing Arabic program in the Department of Critical Languages. According to the Metro’s piece, Arabic is a fast-growing program and major at U.S. colleges and universities, and Temple is no exception to the trend.

Still, though, Temple only offers a specialization certificate in Arabic. As of now, only nine universities on the East Coast offer majors in the language.
