College Search & Selection

<p>What are some good colleges with strong programs in Near and Middle Eastern Studies?</p>

<p>Please note that I am not looking for the "best," as I know that these would likely be Ivies or schools of similar selectivity that are simply unattainable to me. Rather, I am hoping for a strong program in an overall strong school. </p>

<p>It is my desire that the program would be especially strong in Arab Studies, while also not granting a monopoly to a single specific area of study. </p>

<p>Thank you very much for your time and any assistance you may grant.</p>
