Middle Eastern studies flourish at Harvard in large part because they are not contained in one area of the University, but can be found in every corner of it. From the superb Middle Eastern and Islamic collections in the Harvard University Libraries and Art Museums, to the wide array of Middle Eastern-focused courses offered each term across a range of disciplines, to the varied Middle Eastern-related programs across the University, and to the many publications and student organizations concerned with the Middle East, Harvard offers the interested student a plethora of ways to engage in the study of the Middle East.
