Asian and Middle Eastern Studies ( AMES) Faculty are all full-time members of departments in the divisions of the Humanities and Social Sciences. Course scheduling is a complex matter involving the priorities of the faculty's home departments and AMES. When certain courses become important in the planning of your degree program, you should double-check with the home departments of faculty members in order to confirm details of the course offerings. AMES makes every effort to keep current of changes in course scheduling, but we cannot control when courses are offered or when we are informed of changes.
