HIS-3100 The Middle East
The Middle East is an upper-level, one-semester course that surveys the history and development of Islamic culture and examines why the Middle East has become such a turbulent region. Emphasis throughout the course is given to both the historical development of Islamic institutions and beliefs and how these relate to the current reassertion of Islamic values and power in the Muslim world.
Advisory: This is an upper-level course. Students should have knowledge equivalent to an introductory history course.
