Master of Arts in Liberal Studies - Islam and Muslim-Christian Relations

The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies courses has roots in the past with an eye to the future. Throughout your time in the program, you will study the Crusades, the Federalist Papers, the Constitution, Shakespeare, Chaucer, Thomas Jefferson, Gandhi, and the legacy of Greece and Rome. You will explore neuroethics, cyberethics and global bioethics. You will examine the pursuit of peace, religion, politics, existentialism, and the search for meaning. You will scrutinize globalization, the American labor movement, and the values and issues in international affairs. And as you read, discuss, analyze, write, debate, and share within this close-knit community of scholars, you will grow—intellectually, culturally, and professionally. Georgetown’s rich Jesuit tradition informs the common thread throughout the curriculum. Rooted in the core value of cura personalise ("care for the whole person"), the program emphasizes a comprehensive educational approach that cultivates the body, mind, and spirit. This program mainly focuses on Islam and Muslim-Christian Relations.
