As part of Africa and the Arab Middle East, with ties to an ancient and adaptive Berber culture, firmly integrated into the Islamic world, and linked to the French colonial past as well as the EU, Morocco offers a unique set of opportunities and experiences for history, political science and international affairs students in particular, as well as those interested in Islamic Empire, Imperialism, and Post-Colonial Development in the Middle East in particular. Combining exposure to both urban and rural settings, the program attempts to look at current issues facing the Kingdom of Morocco in the twenty-first century in the context of its rich history by investigating a number of key historical and cultural sites as well as though a variety of lectures and writing assignments. This program offers an opportunity for students to dialogue with people from various sectors of Moroccan society.
