Community

The Arab Cultural and Community Center of San Francisco is a nonprofit organization devoted to promoting Arab art and culture, and enriching the lives of the Arab American Community. Their mission is achieved by providing culturally focused social services, and promoting cross-cultural events to all residents of the Bay Area and beyond.

The Associates in Arts degree in Arab Cultural Studies takes a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of Arabic, Arab Americans, and Middle Eastern cultures. The Program affords students a rigorous academic foundation on which to continue advanced study at major colleges and universities specializing in Arabic language, literature and cultures. The comprehensive curriculum not only offers the opportunity to develop specific skills, as in translation and foreign language fluency, but also cultivates an informed perspective essential to the practice of public diplomacy within local, national, and international contexts.
