Middle Eastern Studies

The Middle East is a geopolitical term referring to Southwestern Asia and Northern Africa.

IMEISS carries out research on all countries of the Middle East

and can refer you to academic specialists on a variety of

topics who participate as listed professionals.

IMEISS offers limited reading hours to view library holdings

on the Middle East due to the paucity of holdings on the region

in the mid-state region.

In the fall and spring semesters IMEISS offers tutorials, seminars and occasional lectures.
