What is the difference between a major in the Asian and Middle Eastern Studies Program (AMES) and a major in the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies Languages and Literatures (DAMELL)?
The Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies Languages and Literatures is a department in the division of the Humanities, and its faculty participate in the Asian and Middle Eastern Studies Program along with the faculty of about a dozen other departments. The AMES Program is a multidisciplinary program in the division of the Social Sciences. All AMES majors are strongly encouraged to study a relevant language, which is most often done in DAMELL. In many cases such students will also be strongly encouraged to participate in the DAMELL study-abroad programs in China, Japan, and Morocco. However, language is not required for a degree in the AMES program, and thesis work for the AMES degree can be done with faculty from any of our participating departments.
