I'm new, Q on Middle East History

Hello Everyone,

Glad to have found this resource. I'm currently doing working toward my first few CLEP tests. INTRO to Sociology & Analyzing Literature, etc.

My current goal:
Work towards credits for a BA in Social Sciences from TESC. We'll see if anything changes along the wayI've got some of the REA books and plan to use the flashcards with INSTANT CERT. any other ideas will be great.

Can anybody tell me some ideas for an ONLINE course in MIDDLE EAST history?
Thanks,
TAL

American Military University www.apus.edu offers a very wide variety of history courses, both undergraduate and graduate. And HIST 350: Middle Eastern History happens to be one of them.

Welcome! That's the program I completed too! I didn't take a Middle Eastern course though, but I'm sure Ted's link will pull up a good one.
Good luck and welcome!

APU actually has a "Bachelor of Arts in Middle Eastern Studies":

http://www.apu.apus.edu/academic/pro...astern-studies

This includes courses like "History of the Middle East" and "Middle Eastern Culture". APU does allow students to take courses without being registered for a degree:
http://www.apu.apus.edu/admission/fa..._or_two_at_APU

However make sure before you enroll in a course that you'll be able to use it towards your degree at TESC; fpr example, the Middle Eastern Culture course's code is "IRLS260" (not HIST###) so it may not be usable if you needed a history course.

If you're still interested in Middle Eastern History when you get to the graduate level, the Humanities External Degree Program of California State University Dominguez Hills www.csudh.edu offers HUX 579: The Arab World and HUX 581: The Ancient Near East.
