Armenian Studies Minor at Fresno State
By Jack Arikian
Staff Writer
Armenian culture dates back
centuries, but little is mentioned in historical textbooks. Fresno State prides itself in
being one of the very few campuses nationwide that has an Armenian Studies Program.
Since its inception, the
Fresno State program has provided
a unique opportunity for college
students to enlighten themselves
about Armenian language and history and for most, to learn about
their own ancestry. The Armenian
Studies Program provides students
with historical information unavailable elsewhere. It offers an array of
courses covering art, literature, language as well as history. Courses
also cover topics such as Genocide,
Armenian architecture, miniature
painting, William Saroyan, and Armenian film.
Students have the oppor
tunity to earn a minor in Armenian
by completing 24-26 units of such
classes. The minor in Armenian
Studies not only affords an excellent opportunity to gain an academic background on one of the
important Middle Eastern minority groups in America, but prepares
students for administrative positions in an ever increasing number
of Armenian cultural, social, and
benevolent organizations.
• Furthermore, the Armenian Studies Program offers a generous number of scholarships every year to students who take
courses or plan to minor in Armenian Studies.
Students who take courses
and minor in Armenian studies have
the special opportunity to access
information about Armenian culture that is often difficult to locate.
The Armenian Stadies Program acts
as a center of Armenian information in Fresno through its regular
lecture series where well-known
scholars in Armenian and Middle
Eastern Studies are invited to the
„ i
University to discuss current events
and other relevant topics.
The Program encourages
students with a minor to enter Armenian cultural or social fields, or
continue studies, with graduate
work in Armenian doctoral programs. Simply stated, the necessity to spread the history of the
Armenians is tremendous and the
program would like as many of its
graduates to be able to spread the
knowledge they have gained.
The faculty at Fresno
State, Dr. Dickran Kouymjian and
Barlow Der Mugrdechian understand the importance ofthe course
content they offer for the intellectual well being of the students and
community and do a tremendous
job communicating this. They have
developed a comprehensive program to provide students with the
skills to foster a life-long interest
in Armenian culture.

Armenian shish-kebab dinner and
dance to Armenian music. The trip
promises excitement, fun, and
friendship for all who attend. A
similar trip was done three years
ago and the students loved it.
Throughout the course of
the semester the club will be involved in many different events
that are going to be both on and off
the campus. To conclude a great
semester many ofthe members will
be taking part in a trip to Armenia
that will be taking place in June. On
June first the students will be leaving for Paris where they will stay
two nights. From Paris they will be
going to Yerevan, Armenia and
will be there for seventeen days
touring the country first hand.
As you can see the members of the Organization will have
their hands full with all the fun
events that will be taking place this
semester. If you would like more
information on the club or any of
the events taking place feel free to
contact the Armenian Studies Program at Fresno State.
