The Middle East and North Africa Studies Certificate program provides an interdisciplinary understanding of the history and contemporary dynamics of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
The curriculum draws on the expertise of diverse faculty from across the social sciences and humanities whose training, research and teaching center on the MENA region. This is all the more important to address given the immense importance of the MENA region to a variety of careers, including education, journalism, international affairs, public policy, economic development, and security.
