Jordan: Modernization and Social Change

Coursework

Coursework in Jordan accommodates any level of Arabic language instruction, including a focus on the Jordanian colloquial dialect. The thematic seminar introduces key aspects of modernization and social change. Lectures and excursions introduce students to the history and politics of Jordan, the rapid transformation of land and technology, shifting identities and roles within Jordanian culture, modernity and gender questions, economic and social development practices and regulations, immigration, media, and religion.

The following syllabi are either from a recent session of this program or for an upcoming session. Because courses develop and change over time to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, actual course content will vary from term to term.

The syllabi can be useful for students, faculty, and study abroad offices in assessing credit transfer. Read more about credit transfer.
