UMA Undergraduate Guide 2015-2016 Judaic and Near Eastern Studies Academic Departments and Programs Middle Eastern Studies The Courses
The Courses
The Judaic and Near Eastern Studies department offers the two required introductory courses for the major (Middle Eastern Studies majors must complete History 130 and 131). Students are encouraged to take these introductory courses at the University, but they can be fulfilled with equivalent courses offered through the Five College Consortium, upon the academic advisor’s permission. Similarly, upper-level requirements can be fulfilled by taking a wide range of courses in the Department, the Five Colleges and, with advance permission, approved study abroad programs. Courses at Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke and Smith Colleges listed here, as well as others with majority Middle Eastern content, can count towards upper-level course requirements. When one of the required introductory courses is not offered in a given year at the University, an equivalent course offered elsewhere in the Five College Consortium may be substituted with advisor approval. Please visit our website for the most recent version the Middle Eastern Studies course list, including Five College classes approved to count towards the major.
