<p>I’m considering doing so, in addition to my history major. If I did so, it would be “Middle East & North African Studies,” blending history, religion, Arabic. Does anyone have any advice on the matter?</p>
<p>Not really, but what about those topics makes you so interested?</p>
<p>I’m taking Arabic right now, and last semester took a religion course on “Crusades, Contact, and Exchange in the Medieval Mediterranean.” As a historian, the region fascinates me, and I want to have a focused study on a particular geographical/cultural area. </p>
<p>Plus, it’s a good excuse to go study in the Maghreb.</p>
<p>What about that particular area and why not other areas?</p>
<p>At my college you would be told to take the classes you are interested in as part of or on top of your history major.</p>
<p>I think creating your own major REALLY varies depending on the school. You should make an appt with an advisor.</p>
<p>I didn’t create my own major, but I am literally the first and only person in my major in 10 years</p>
<p>What major is it?</p>
<p>engineering science</p>
