Duke’s BS in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies equips students with advanced proficiency in at least one regional language—Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Hindi-Urdu, Japanese, Korean, Persian, or Turkish—paired with interdisciplinary coursework spanning history, media, politics, and religion. Intensive language bootcamps reduce time-to-fluency, while content classes dissect soft-power diplomacy, digital pop culture, and environmental challenges along the Belt and Road. Optional year-long immersion in Amman, Beijing, or Seoul integrates homestays with research apprenticeships, allowing students to conduct fieldwork on topics from mosque architecture to K-drama fandom economies. Graduates leave ready for international law, foreign service, or global tech roles.
