Difference in these 3 majors?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Michigan

<p>My situation is this:
I've flip-flopped my whole life about what I'd like to major in. Thankfully, I was accepted to UM this Fall and I've somewhat narrowed down my options (major-wise). </p>

<p>As of now, I'm planning on a double major in International Studies along with: </p>

<p>Arabic, Armenian, Persian, Islamic, and Turkish Studies
OR
Middle Eastern and North African Studies
OR
Near Eastern Studies </p>

<p>So my question is, WHAT IS THE FREAKING DIFFERENCE?
(I realize that all of the components of AAPTIS would fit into Mid-East, AKA Near East. So, what's the point of having 3 departments? And, would any one of the following be looked highly upon more so than the others in terms of careers? And if so, which careers?) </p>

<p>Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance! :)</p>

<p>@ThisIsMichigan, then what’s the point of 3 different majors?
@nubswitstubs, I’m curious as to how I’m ignorant?</p>

<p>i was referring to ThisIsMichigan. if you didn’t realize, his post was implying the majors you listed are basically the same since they’re liberal arts majors…</p>

<p>@nubswitstubs Sorry :S </p>

<p>I thought you were one of those people who like scrutinizing others’ wording and shedding light on the technicalities of ‘generalization’, my mistake.</p>

<p>Is there any reason to decide now? Why not try out different classes and see what works best for you.</p>
