MENAJS.MINOR - Middle East, North Africa, and Jewish Studies, Minor

The Middle East, North Africa, and Jewish Studies (MENAJS) program allows students to design an interdisciplinary minor around their interests in the cultures and societies of the region and its related diasporas, throughout history up to and including contemporary times. The program is defined broadly with the intention to include and bring together a diversity of geographic, ethnic, religious, and linguistic communities. The program encourages students to approach complex issues and interactions critically and with an open mind.
