The program uses a unique, interdisciplinary approach that focuses on several regions. You will explore historical and contemporary issues in Africa, Asia and the Middle East and their centuries-old ties through vast networks created by trade, religion, imperialism and human migration.
As an Islamic World Studies minor, you’ll learn about the lifestyles and institutions of Islam and the history, culture and language of the Muslim world. Find updated course listings and minor requirements in the academic bulletin.
