    Middle Eastern Studies

    About

    Because of the pivotal role that the Middle East will play in the geo-politics, economics, and history of the twenty-first century, students with a strong background in the region are well prepared for a wide array of professional opportunities, including consulting, NGOs, development, government, medicine, and law—especially students who begin Arabic or Hebrew during their first term at Dartmouth.

    The Middle Eastern Studies (MES) Program brings together scholars from a wide range of disciplines to teach and research the great civilizations, societies, and cultures of the Middle East and North Africa. MES offers students an array of courses on history, politics, religion, literature, and culture of the region (taught in English), as well as state-of-the-art language training in Arabic and Hebrew. MES also offers advanced seminars utilizing primary source materials.

    In addition to its on-campus academic programs, MES offers a range of study abroad opportunities, and the relationships that develop between professors and students in MES often extend beyond students' time at Dartmouth.
