Middle East and North African Studies
Academic Bulletin
Program Faculty: Professors Kirschner (Program Coordinator), Alkyam, Hilal, Krone, B. Miller, Mitchell, Onyeiwu, Reeck
An interdivisional minor examining the history, politics, religion, culture, and economics of the Middle East and North Africa (“MENA”). Through this minor, students will gain an in-depth understanding of the region and the contexts through which we understand it. See also the Middle East and Northern Africa track in the “International Studies” Major. Because this minor is interdivisional, students may complete any Major to satisfy the college requirement that the Major and minor be in different divisions. For minor specific, please see Academic Bulletin.
When advising these students, please note:
- Students should take an introductory survey and start the Arabic language sequence as soon as possible (ideally, in their first 3 semesters)
