 Return to: Academic Programs
The Middle East and North Africa Studies minor at BSU offers courses related to the region of the Middle East and North Africa. Students choosing Middle East and North Africa Studies as a minor will be exposed to the cultures and societies of the region through study of language, visual arts, history and social science. Minors will take an interdisciplinary approach to the political and socio-cultural aspects of the many countries of the region. The program seeks to complement other interdisciplinary minors offered by BSU. It serves to:
- offer a structured program of courses related to the Middle East and North Africa region;
- enhance both student awareness of geo-political complexities and student sensitivity to the diverse array of Middle Eastern and North African cultures;
- foster media literacy skills, cross-disciplinary analysis and research opportunities that only an interdisciplinary minor can provide; and
- prepare students for careers and post-graduate study.
Students interested in the Middle East and North Africa Studies minor should contact Dr. Navid Fozi, director.
