CONCENTRATION
IN MIDDLE
EAST STUDIES
in the Curriculum in International and Area
Studies
Middle East Studies is one of six area studies concentrations within
the Curriculum in International and Area Studies.
Requirements
- Concentrators take one required course that gives an overview
of the topic and an extended justification for Carolina's distinctive,
cross-regional approach:
| ASIA 181/INTS 137/ RELI 181 |
Later Islamic Civilization and
Modern Muslim Cultures |
This course is taught each year in the spring.
- Concentrators take six semesters of a language of the modern
Middle East. Current offerings at Carolina allow concentrators
to take six semesters of Arabic. Alternatively, in keeping with
the Curriculum's regulations, concentrators may take four semesters
of Arabic, Modern Hebrew, Persian, or Turkish (currently offered
at Duke), plus two semesters of another language.
- Concentrators are encouraged to consider Study
Abroad opportunities in the Middle East.
- Concentrators take four additional courses that focus on the
modern Middle
East, and two courses in one of the three thematic
concentrations to contextualize the student's area-based knowledge.
Of these six courses, four must be above survey level.
