Answer 2

the good thing is that it is a foreign language and it's great to have under your belt!!

if you want to choose a major that will allow you to concentrate in that language, you should try majoring in the arabic language itself. not all universities offer it, so you'll have to do some research. but majoring in it will give you the opportunity to use it in translating/interpreting, instructor, business, etc. so, pretty much any major from secondary education, sociology to business are some options.

the requirements vary from university to university, but i've read that MOST foreign language majors, MUST take a second year of a DIFFERENT foreign language as well (this will also satisfy the minor [foreign language] - which is a requirement).

Brigham Young offers tons and tons of language majors and minors, Arabic included. It's a private religious school though, and pretty expensive.
