The Program of African and Asian Languages is Ending Summer, 2013

All nine languages of the Program of African and Asian Languages are transitioning into four separate academic units:

  1. the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures (DALC) will house Chinese, Hindi, Japanese and Korean language courses;

  2. the Jewish Studies Program will house Hebrew language courses;

  3. the Middle East and North African Program (MENA) will house Arabic, Persian and Turkish language courses; and,

  4. the Program of African Studies (PAS) will house Swahili language courses

All language courses will continue to be listed by language within CAESAR.

Please be aware, all quarter offerings of AMES 271 and 274 will move to DALC and will now be listed under ASIAN_LC and COMP LIT in CAESAR.
