SYLLABI BY GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION

Syllabi are classified according to the major cities and other geographical areas that are covered in the course. Courses that cover more than one geographical area are thus cross-indexed. Courses that range across continents or that indicate no geographical focus are also included under "International" on this page. See Using the Indexes for more details.


• The Continent or Region index organizes cities by the continent and nation in which they are located (e.g. Africa/Egypt/Cairo), and includes all syllabi.


• The Cities index organizes cities alphabetically (e.g. Baghdad, Baltimore) and includes only syllabi that teach about specific cities.

An asterisk (*) below indicates a link to a syllabus located on an external website.
