Many graduates find jobs in journalism, international business and industry, government and foreign service. Others find jobs in translating, interpreting or consulting. A number of students have also gone on to complete graduate studies in similar areas.

Students are encouraged to study abroad. Arabic and Middle East Studies majors have a unique opportunity to study abroad at the American University in Cairo or Al Akhawayn University in Morocco.
