a, the Middle East Studies minor at SLU offers courses that examine the roles of Jewish, Christian and Islamic cultures from ancient to modern times. We cover the geographic area of the traditional Middle East and also the areas influenced by or politically tied to the cultures of the Middle East, such as Spain and Africa. This broad introduction to the region provides a strong foundation on which to pursue further study. The Middle East Studies minor enhances other international programs offered at SLU, giving students a special perspective on a crucial part of the world. Courses
A variety of electives allows students to tailor the minor to their individual interests. Students are required to take a minimum of 18 credits from approved courses in consultation with the Middle East Studies director. Capstone Requirement
Students will revise a research paper that was originally written for one of the elective courses from the minor. The student will present the revised paper during an annual capstone event their senior year. Study Abroad
Though studying abroad is not required for the minor, SLU offers a wealth of Study Abroad programs to give students a comprehensive learning experience by studying in the Middle East in order to gain an even better understanding of this region. Middle East Studies Faculty
