Winter 2023 MENA Courses

This is a list of courses compiled by program staff for Winter 2023 course offerings that will fulfill your undergraduate Middle East & North Africa Studies Minor requirements.

Please consult the official Class Schedule for the most current information concerning the term’s courses as course information and offerings may have changed since the publishing of this list.

Please make note of the following tips:

  • Keep an eye on Pre-Requisites. This list does not include which courses have pre-requisites. Make sure you are checking that you meet all of the pre-requisites before you register for a course. If you don’t meet the course pre-requisites but would like to take the course, you may contact the course instructor to request enrollment approval. If approved, a staff member for that program may open enrollment for you.
  • Keep an eye on Enrollment Requirements. This list includes courses offered by other departments/programs at the UO. Each department/program at the UO may have their own requirements for enrolling in courses. For instance, some may require that you be a major in that department/program. Similar to pre-requisites, before enrolling in a course, please verify that you meet the enrollment requirements.
  • Read titles for “Topics” courses. All courses with the numbers 196, 199, 399, 407, 507, 410 and 510 are changing topics or experimental courses. You are able to take courses with these numbers multiple times (or at the same time!), but this means you also need to keep an eye out for which course title fulfills your requirement/elective.
