ACADEMICS
Overview
The Institute's interdisciplinary course of study is divided into
various components that engage students in a thorough and philosophical examination
of government, the price system, society and culture, and conflict management.
Lectures and readings connect scientific, theoretical, and philosophical analysis
of issues relevant to the Eastern Mediterranean region. The Institute's curriculum
is taught by a team of professors from Georgetown
University, and other prestigious U.S. universities.
Academic Credits
Academic Credit is available from Georgetown University for both undergraduate and graduate students worth three credit hours. Undergraduate credit can be applied to a Bachelor degree, or graduate credit can be applied to a Master's degree or PhD. In maintaining a sense of diversity, the Institute welcomes students from various academic levels in order to share their knowledge and academic experiences with others. All students must take a comprehensive written exam at the end of the Institute. The examination is tailored for either undergraduate or graduate level students.
