Asian and Middle Eastern Cultures and Media Minor

The Asian & Middle Eastern Cultures and Media (AMCM) program enables students to pursue the study of Asian and Middle Eastern texts and media, broadly understood. The program encourages work that questions the boundaries of traditional area studies, demands proficiency in the language(s) of concentration, and provides opportunities for students to design a flexible program of study. Students must designate a language of concentration on their AMCM program application form. Currently, students may select Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or Hindi/Urdu for their language of concentration. However, it is possible to select another South Asian language with permission of the director of graduate Studies.
