MA Program

The MA program at CAMES is an interdisciplinary program with the goal of helping students to acquire a sound grounding in a particular academic discipline, in the Arabic language and in the civilizations of the Middle East. The MA program takes at least two years to complete and requires a thesis.

The program focuses on current methodologies and approaches to the general field of Middle Eastern scholarship. Beyond the required core seminar and Arabic courses, students structure their own course of study in areas such as contemporary Middle Eastern History and Archaeology, Social Sciences, Middle Eastern Politics, and Arabic language and literature. The courses and the thesis requirement encourage students' critical and independent thinking and the undertaking of in-depth analytical research. CAMES is committed to the study of the Arabic language and offers courses at all levels in coordination with the Department of Arabic and Near Eastern Languages as well as a six-week intensive course in the summer.
