Middle Eastern Studies Minor

Description:

The Middle Eastern Studies minor is concerned with the cultures of the Middle East from ancient times to the present. Utilizing the resources of various FSU departments and programs, it allows students to study the region from an interdisciplinary perspective. The minor can provide a Middle East focus for work in another discipline, build a foundation necessary for advanced degrees in Middle Eastern Studies, and enable those planning to work in the region to gain an understanding of its cultures.

Requirements:

The minor consists of 15 semester hours and must include intermediate level (2200 level) competence in Hebrew (Biblical or Modern), Arabic, or another Middle Eastern language approved by the committee. The remaining hours must come either from the courses listed in the FSU Bulletin or be approved by an adviser. No more than eight (8) semester hours of language courses may be counted toward the minor, and no course taken for the minor may be used to fulfill any university language requirement.
