The Middle East Studies Program is committed to helping students gain a better knowledge and understanding of the peoples, cultures, religions, and conflicts of this strategic part of the world. The Middle East, as the historical home of the three Western monotheistic religious traditions - and the earlier goddess religions - leads the student to appreciate the origins, development, and contemporary practice of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Study of the region is critical to the understanding of U.S. foreign policy and global political economy.
