The Minor
The minor in Middle East studies is an interdisciplinary program
aimed at a comparative study of the Middle East (including North
Africa).
The program consists of seven courses, of which at least five must
be upper-division courses. Three courses have to deal with the Middle
East since the emergence of Islam, as listed here under Core
Courses. The remaining courses may be chosen from either the
Core Courses or the Supporting Courses; and they may be courses
dealing with the ancient, medieval, or modern Middle East or a three-quarter
sequence of a Middle Eastern language (in which case only four of
the seven courses need to be upper-division). Ordinarily, all seven
courses must be taken for a letter grade.
The courses which make up the minor must be approved by the students
college and by the Middle East Studies Program.
Approved courses taken at other universities or through participation
in the Education Abroad Program can be included as part of the minor
by petition.
