The following information has official approval of the Department of History and the Buchtel College of Arts & Sciences, but is intended only as a guide. Completion of this certificate is contingent upon many factors, including but not limited to: class availability, total number of required credits, work schedule, finances, family, course drops/withdrawals, successfully passing courses, prerequisites, among others.
The following courses constitute a “Certificate in History – Middle Eastern Studies” and must be completed with a minimum grade point average of 2.0 overall for the certificate to be noted on the student’s record. Students will need to complete the equivalent of a fourth semester level language class (modern South or East Asian language for a Middle Eastern language) for the Middle Eastern Studies Certificate. Only one ancient world course will count towards the certificate.
