Arabic

The study of Arabic at CSUSB combines training in language, literature, culture, and contemporary affairs of the Arab world. It develops students' understandings, perspectives, and attitudes of Arab-speaking cultures and people. The program is carefully crafted to allow participants to enrich and broaden their academic training by drawing from disciplines related to and in demand in the Arab World (such as Anthropology, Communication, Comparative Literature, Computer Science, Criminal Justice, Health Care, History, International Business and Law, Linguistics, Political Science, Social Studies, etc.).

A major in Arabic provides a strong and competitive professional background and opens career opportunities especially when combined with an appropriate second major, a teaching credential or a specialized graduate degree.

Graduates with Arabic have found employment in education, international business, foreign trade and banking, government services, science and technology, and the tourism industry. Some careers require additional education or experience yet many positions are available for graduates regardless of academic discipline.

Fulfill the general education requirement in the Humanities (C-2) section by taking one of the following ARAB 1112 or ARAB 2900.

French

The B.A. in French is designed to prepare students for the CSET exam (required for the single subject teaching credential in French in California). For information about the professional education component, admission to the teacher education program or specific requirements of the single subject teaching credential, contact the College of Education.

Japanese

The Japanese program offers courses that develop language capabilities and an appreciation and comprehension of the literature and culture of Japan. Fulfill the general education requirement in the Humanities (C-2) section by taking either one of the following courses JAPN 1112 or JAPN 2900.

Spanish

The study of Spanish at California State University, San Bernardino is based on the recognition that Hispanic cultures in the United States form an integral part of American society, and that the Spanish language, far from being "foreign," is spoken in nearly all sections of our nation alongside of English. In some areas of Southern California as well as other parts of the United States, speakers of Spanish outnumber those who speak English. Moreover, the importance of the Hispanic culture in the United States is increasing daily as additional immigrants arrive from Latin America.

Knowledge of Spanish for those seeking employment in our region is critical for the fields of teaching, journalism, publishing, advertising, writing, business, law, law enforcement, government, health services, as well as other career opportunities. Even a basic knowledge of Spanish at the SPAN 1112 level may increase the probability of employment for these and other fields.

Fulfill the general education requirement in the Humanities (C-2) section by taking one of the following courses SPAN 1112 or SPAN 2900.

Fulfill the general education requirement in the Arts or Humanities (C-3) section by taking a course from the following (if not previously taken) SPAN 1112 or SPAN 2900.

The minor in Spanish and the Certificates in Healthcare Spanish and Criminal Justice Spanish can be combined with each other and with any non-Spanish major, giving students additional experience in Hispanic cultures, literature, and linguistics. A double major of Spanish and another subject is also an option.

A graduating senior will be awarded departmental honors after meeting the following requirements:

  1. Earned a 3.5 grade point average in the major.

Minors

World Literatures

The World Literatures minor  offers a variety of courses taught in English about literatures from around the world. Students majoring in a world language are often interested in diversifying their knowledge of literature but learning a new language well enough to be able to read those literatures in the original version takes too long. This minor will take advantages of the GE literature in translation courses (i.e. courses taught in English about literatures from around the globe), as well as relevant courses in the English department. The minor will also be of interest to other majors such as English and Theatre Arts, in particular, and enhance their familiarity with literature from various parts of the world.

Fulfill the general education requirement in Upper Division Arts and Humanities (C-4) section by taking the following: WLL 3920, WLL 3940 or WLL 3950

Certificates

California Indian Languages and Cultures

The California Indian Languages and Cultures certificate offers a variety of courses taught in California Indian languages and in English that inform about worldviews and cultural beliefs of local indigenous groups and center on how social practices of language use shape communication, social life, and sociocultural identity in general and in California Indian contexts.
