Program in Contemporary Middle Eastern Studies
The PCMES offers a wide range of university-level courses on contemporary Middle East Studies. The faculty is comprised of distinguished regional specialists, most of whom hold professorial appointments at leading universities.
Courses for students enrolled in the PCMES are offered in two fourteen-week semesters (fall and spring). College enrollment is kept small, in an effort to make both student-to-faculty as well as student-to-student interactions more accessible and appealing. At the same time, the College tries to maintain diversity by welcoming qualified students not only of different gender, race, and class but also at different levels of education (undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate) and of varied professional backgrounds. In the context of a diverse college, it is hoped that students will be able to learn as much from their peers and their varied experiences in the Middle East as they will from their instructors.
PCMES classes are conducted in English and students are expected to continue their Arabic language studies at the Yemen Language Center while enrolled. Students live in campus dormitories.
