Middle Eastern Studies perhaps?

<p>What colleges have solid Middle Eastern Studies programs and also offer Arabic? I know both Harvard and Georgetown have received a large endowment from a Saudi prince (don't ask me to recall the name) to fund their new Islamic studies program. Any other schools good at this? Possibly easier to get into?</p>

<p>brandeis
columbia
emory
fordham
michigan
nyu
tufts</p>

<p>Ohio State actually has good programs in Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, etc. Pashto, too, I think. Obviously not in the leagues as those school, but still something to think about.</p>

<p>try tufts, emory, nyu, or smith (if you are a girl)</p>

<p>Thanks. I'm definitely applying to Emory and possibly Tufts.</p>
