Not an LAC, but he would meet the transfer admission requirements:
University of Oklahoma

If he essentially started over and could get his GPA up to at least a 3.25, he could apply to the Language Flagship Arabic Program.

Not likely to get FA at first, but probably could IF he could get into the Flagship program. Language Flagship programs are federally-funded and designed to develop a superior level of language proficiency. Depending on the language, the various flagship language programs arguably match or exceed any university in the country. OU has extensive study abroad options and the School of International & Area Studies offers Middle Eastern Studies, an area in which OU is expanding.

Again, not an LAC, but he might meet the transfer admission requirements: Indiana University—good international studies programs and Near Eastern languages, including extensive resources in Turkic languages, if he wants to build on his Turkish. Again, FA could be difficult.
