Education Abroad

Students in Middle Eastern Studies are encouraged to spend a summer, semester, or full year studying abroad. Both undergraduate and graduate students should speak with their advisor about transferability of credit before beginning a study abroad program. For graduate students, only two courses may be transferred for credit from study abroad, and these courses must meet certain requirements to apply to the degree.
