MES-MN - Middle East Studies Minor

The interdisciplinary minor in Middle East studies is designed to foster close and critical engagement with the peoples and cultures of the region stretching from Morocco to India. It requires students to take courses in a variety of fields and encourages the pursuit of Middle Eastern languages, such as Arabic and Hebrew, as well as study away in the region. The minor consists of six courses drawn from the Middle East studies offerings of the international studies program (see listings elsewhere in the Bulletin ). One of these six courses provides the framework for the integrating exercise. Students must earn a minimum of C- for all courses counted toward the minor.
