Students may select courses that provide a broad introduction across disciplines, or they may choose courses that address a particular historical period or theme.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty units (five courses) are required. All students must take MDES 201w or MDES 301g. To complete the minor a student must also take three upper-division courses from the list below. Students who are also studying a language may substitute ARAB 252, HEBR 315 or IRAN 250 for one of the three upper-division courses. However there is no language requirement for the minor.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/classes.usc.edu\/term-20251\/classes\/arab\">Schedule of Classes for Arabic Courses<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n
