The Department of Middle Eastern Studies at UT Austin offers a minor in Turkish and opportunities for undergraduate students to study Turkish/Turkey within its BA degrees in Middle Eastern Studies, Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures, and Islamic Studies. Students majoring in International Relations and Global Studies, Government, History and Economics often choose to study Turkish.
Students taking Turkish can study the language for at least 2 years on campus with the goal of achieving a minimum of advanced proficiency. Thanks to the intensive nature of the beginning courses, students can complete their Foreign Language Requirement in just 2 semesters (w/ TUR 601C and 611C). By the 4th semester, students transition to thematic content classes taught entirely in Turkish. Students may take a second content course (TUR 329) in their 3rd year or may choose to study abroad in Turkey or Azerbaijan.
The core Turkish curriculum consists of 2 years (4 semesters) of language-centered coursework that aims to build skills in reading, listening, viewing, speaking, writing, and facilitates achievement of intercultural communicative competence.
