Since the Center for Middle Eastern Studies is interdisciplinary, it offers a combination of courses originating in Middle Eastern studies, and cross-listed courses anchored in other departments that are approved for the Middle Eastern studies major or minor. All cross-listed courses have counterparts offered by the Middle Eastern studies program, usually utilizing the same last three digits of the course number as the cross-listed course, with the Middle Eastern studies code designation 01:685:__. (For example, course 01: 790:351 Contemporary Politics in the Middle East, a political science course, is offered simultaneously within Middle Eastern studies as course 01:685:351, with the same title.) Credit is not, however, given for both a Middle Eastern studies course (01:685:__) and its corresponding cross-listed course.
Summary descriptions of cross-listed courses may be found under the relevant originating department`s subject code listing (e.g., for a description of 01:685:409 The Crusades and the Holy Land, consult the parallel course entry in the history program, which is 01:510:409).
