The Master of Arts in Middle East & Islamic Studies and International Affairs is a dynamic initiative that allows students to benefit from the best of two disciplines - a solid grounding in international relations theory and practice, as well as different political and ideological perspectives from throughout the Middle East and the Islamic world.
The program is taught over two years and includes a set of core courses from both disciplines and elective courses on specific countries and languages, conflict resolution and civil society development issues. The program builds on theoretical knowledge of politics and international affairs, while providing a range of regional specialization in the Middle East and other Islamic countries as well as the US and Europe.
Graduates can expect to pursue careers in government, business, international organizations such as the United Nations or the NGO sector in a variety of locations, utilizing a wide range of skills that foster their ability to resolve conflict in challenging circumstances and to understand and improve complex social problems affecting people of various religious and cultural backgrounds.
