By the way, someone mentioned having to learn two languages if you want to get your master’s. This may have been a requirement for her, but it is not a general requirement for most schools and for most subject matters. I have a master’s and two doctorates, from two schools, and while I do know three other languages, no one has ever required them of me.

Having an extra language is always helpful. I am not sure about arabic, but you won’t be able to really learn Chinese in a couple semesters. You can get some idea and basics, but I took years to really learn Chinese.

Beside the foreign language requirement, you may need some free election credits. Those Chinese/arabic course can be used toward as free election.

It’s a good idea to learn more if you don’t affact your time required for your major. But it does not worth if you need to pospone your major for studying these.

On top of that, you can always do Medical Mission trips to those countries that you know the language.
