From Morocco to Jordan, from Oman to Turkey, University of Denver students are more interested in working, studying and travelling in the Middle East than ever before in our school's history. We aim to encourage and support this student interest by providing relevant and timely resources.
For up to date, reputable news coverage of the ISIS crisis, the most recent Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch report on Syria, or the best academic and journalistic writing on Islam and liberalism, please visit our various resource pages for the most up to date research and resources from around the world.
For on campus resources, please find on this page an aggregation of organizations with relevant internship opportunities, study abroad opportunities that are external to our school's abroad programs, as well as some of the best academic journals on the Middle East.

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) is seeking undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate students for a variety of internship openings.
From their internship page: "Why work for ISW: ISW believes ground realities must drive the formulation of strategy and policy. In pursuit of this principle, ISW conducts detailed, open-source intelligence analysis to provide the most accurate information on current conflicts and security threats. We offer interns a chance to train on work with cutting-edge technologies employed in business and in the intelligence community. Interns at ISW will have an unparalleled opportunity to conduct research that directly informs policy-makers on some of the most pressing issues facing American national security. Our interns work directly with analysts and have many opportunities to engage with Institute leadership on the subjects of their research. ISW offers its interns to be at the front lines of military research and policy, tackling the issues that are in the headlines. ISW has published the work of its interns and hired many onto its staff."
