Located on the Bloomington campus, the Center for the Study of the Middle East (CSME) is a Title VI National Resource Center funded by the Department of Education, which endeavors to promote scholarly and cultural understanding of the Middle East via outreach, financial and academic support, and campus events.
CSME engages with other IU centers in collaborative activities with community colleges and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) by promoting the internationalization of the curriculum through teaching students and training instructors.
