1 MIDDLE EAST RELATED S SPRING 2018 All listings are subject to change, and this list may not be comprehensive. Consult the online course catalog for each school for up-to-date course information including locations and new and additional offerings, and to double-check course times. Course requirements, class capacities, and section information for FAS and Divinity School courses can be found at courses.my.harvard.edu. Courses at other schools often start earlier than GSAS courses. Please check with those schools for specific start times. Courses offered outside of FAS and the Divinity School also require cross registration. Undergraduate tutorials are for undergraduates only. MA candidates should discuss reading and research courses with their academic advisor in advance. This list does not include courses offered at the Harvard Extension School. Courses marked with an asterisk satisfy the medieval Middle Eastern History requirement for the AM degree in Middle Eastern Studies.
