The
Middle East Studies Project aims at strengthening and improving undergraduate
instruction in international studies and foreign languages at California
State University, Fresno. The project will enhance the university’s foreign language offerings through the implementation of a two-year program in Persian and Arabic. It will further strengthen the university’s
offerings in international studies by developing a minor in Middle East Studies.
An additional Study Abroad Program in Cairo Egypt and collaboration with
regional institutions will pave the way for further development of the program
in the future. The project is funded for two years by a US Department of
Education Title VI-A grant to the College of Arts and Humanities.
