The Department of Middle Eastern and Ancient Mediterranean Studies (MEAMS) offers students the chance both to major and to minor in the languages, literatures and cultures of the ancient Mediterranean Greek, Roman, etc. and modern Arabic-speaking worlds.  We provide instruction that is crucial to understanding where we are today and how we got here. Courses range from basic instruction in language (Arabic, ancient Greek, Latin, Turkish) and culture for all students in all programs, to advanced work preparatory to many rewarding careers, for example, in government, law, academia, communications, management and other fields.
