Overview
Key facts
The study of the history, culture, religion, and politics of the Middle East may be of interest to all baccalaureate degree candidates. Students who, following graduation, will seek employment within the Middle East will gain a deeper understanding of the environment – historical, cultural, and political – which will serve them well, regardless of the profession they choose.
Study Abroad
Students benefit from the Middle Eastern Studies program at the American University in Dubai as a means of complementing the understanding gained from living in the region.
Such study serves to complement the undergraduate degree program in which the student is enrolled, the result being a broadening of cultural knowledge and sensitivity – both of which play a role in professional endeavor and success.
