Info Sessions and Campus Visits

Information Sessions

Wondering about the academic programs available within MES and whether to declare a major or minor? Attend an information session! Information sessions are scheduled regularly throughout the year to help students answer basic questions about the major, minors, and extra-curricular opportunities within the department. Undergraduates at all levels and with varying backgrounds are welcome to attend.

Schedule a Department Visit

Visiting the Department of Middle East Studies is the best way to learn about our programs, see our students and faculty in action, and explore our vibrant and beautiful campus. We accept prospective student visits from juniors or seniors in high school, as well as transfer students from other institutions.

Prospective students will have the opportunity to visit with our program administrators, interact with faculty, attend classes, and tour our facilities Monday through Friday during regular business hours. In preparation for your arrival, we ask that you contact the department at least two weeks in advance of your visit. Email middle.east.studies@umich.edu or call (734) 764-0314 to set-up your visit.
