Program Details

Beyond political economy and political science, in the Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies (IMES) Program at Brandeis University you’ll have the opportunity to study topics such as feminism, peacemaking, translation and the arts as they relate to this region. You will be encouraged to complement our broad approach with deeper explorations into your particular areas of interest. And you will gain proficiency in either Arabic or Hebrew.

Whether you major or minor in IMES, you’ll be well prepared for further study — including at Brandeis, which offers several related advanced degrees. You’ll also be ready for a career in diplomacy, government, advocacy, business and other international professions.
