Bachelor of Arts [B.A] Middle Eastern and South Asian Studies
The majority of courses offered by MESAS are interdisciplinary in nature. The major in Middle Eastern and South Asian Studies offers, in addition to two years of language study, four multidisciplinary core courses, and draws on elective courses from departments and programs across Emory College of Arts and Sciences. Our distinctive curriculum philosophy privileges courses that cover regions and topics as a whole (e.g., Middle Eastern Literature, Comparative Sacred Texts, Gender, and South Asia) over those that address one language/ethnic area only.
