COURSES INTRODUCTION
The Department of Religion offers a Ph.D. concentration in Islamic Studies, but the Graduate School does not offer advanced degrees in Islamic Studies. Instead, graduate students pursue degrees within departments where they specialize in Islamic Studies.
Duke University has been at the forefront of interdisciplinary education, and the freedom students have to take courses across departmental and disciplnary boundaries reflects that longstanding commitment.
SEMESTER-BY-SEMESTER COURSE LISTINGS:
Listing of upcoming Spring 2010 courses is now available.
The Graduate Bulletin has a list of graduate courses by department or program.
HINT: When looking for graduate courses, make sure to check "special topics" course listings for each department. These course topics and instructors change from semester to semester.
You may view past semester course offerings in the online course listing.
