http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/MESAMajorApproval/ We, the students of the University of California are calling for the transformation of the Middle Eastern South Asian Studies Minor to become a Major at the Davis campus. A Bachelors of Interdisciplinary Studies on Middle Eastern/ South Asian issues provides an unyielding institution on the Davis campus for students wishing to understand the historical and contemporary topics of the Middle East and South Asia to further their professional careers. Graduates with a specialization in Middle East/ South Asian Studies are greatly advantageous in the fields of business, law, education, and governmental service, especially as the importance of this region increases in a rapidly globalizing world. By having this major available to us, students have the option to select courses from a variety of departments and schools, including History, Political Science, Anthropology, Sociology, Art and Design, and Modern and Classical Languages, which will provide us with an exceptional education that the current Minor can not fulfill. Also, with the presence of other cultural/regional studies majors like African American Studies, Asian American Studies, and Chicano/Latino Studies, which provide UCD students the option of earning B.A. degrees in these fields, than the precedence must be maintained for another cultural/regional studies minor that also seeks the same goals in an equally legitimate and renown department, to offer its students the option of earning a B.A. as well. One of the following apply to me: ________ I am an Alumni of UCD that would have majored in ME/SA studies had it been available to me ________ I am a current UCD student that wants to major in ME/SA studies ________ I am a current UCD student that will not major in ME/SA but takes (will take) classes that only the ME/SA department offers Fri, 5 Oct 2007 08:1:38 CDT en-us 3 http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/MESAMajorApproval/#sig3943930 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/MESAMajorApproval/#sig3759383 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/MESAMajorApproval/#sig3759370 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/MESAMajorApproval/#sig3759327 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/MESAMajorApproval/#sig3746370 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/MESAMajorApproval/#sig3745248 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/MESAMajorApproval/#sig3740936 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/MESAMajorApproval/#sig3737217 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST A Middle East/South Asian minor will support diversity and awareness on campus, at a time when such awareness is needed the most. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/MESAMajorApproval/#sig3735690 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/MESAMajorApproval/#sig3729786 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/MESAMajorApproval/#sig3728735 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/MESAMajorApproval/#sig3722872 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/MESAMajorApproval/#sig3721723 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/MESAMajorApproval/#sig3721505 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/MESAMajorApproval/#sig3718927 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/MESAMajorApproval/#sig3716890 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/MESAMajorApproval/#sig3714442 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/MESAMajorApproval/#sig3713843 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/MESAMajorApproval/#sig3713442 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/MESAMajorApproval/#sig3713129 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST
