About World Islamic and Middle East Studies
About World Islamic and Middle East Studies
The undergraduate programs in World Islamic and Middle East Studies offer students language-based interdisciplinary training about the Islamic world. Combining humanities and social-science approaches, the programs introduce students to the textual traditions and social life of Muslims鈥攁nd the non-Muslims interacting with them鈥攊n different times and places, including, but not limited to, the Middle East.
Students in the programs learn about the complexity and variety of Muslim societies and cultures across the world, paying attention to regional specificities but also becoming aware of past and present global links. With solid grounding in language training (Arabic, Persian, Turkish, or Urdu), students take courses on history, law, philosophy, art, literature, political science, history of science in Islamic societies, and anthropology, combining knowledge about the contemporary Islamic world and the traditions that are important for understanding it.
The Institute of Islamic Studies offers:
- major and minor concentrations;
- honours and joint honours programs for students wishing to pursue more in-depth studies; and
- language minors in Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and Urdu for students interested in language training.
To register for a WIMES program, you must have been offered admission into a bachelor's program at 成人VR视频; for more information, please refer to www.mcgill.ca/applying.
