About the course

The interdisciplinary Master of Arts program in Middle Eastern Studies is designed for students considering an academic career who have not had the appropriate academic background for direct entrance into a doctoral program, and the program is also suitable for those who wish to use their knowledge of the Middle East in careers outside of academia. Language and area studies preparation may be supplemented by relevant course work in a professional school or department at UChicago. We invite you to join our upcoming webinar on December 1st hosted by Center for Middle Eastern Studies Director Orit Bashkin, Deputy Director Paul Walker, Associate Director Tom Maguire, and Center Assistant and MA alumna Xhesika Bardhi. You may register here. The webinar will feature information about the MA program, financial aid, research, and will include time for us to answer your
