The interdisciplinary MA in Middle East and Islamic studies introduces students to the major methodological and theoretical issues and debates in the study of the Islamic tradition and Middle Eastern societies. Students study classical and contemporary topics from both regional and global perspectives. The expressed goal of this program is to situate the study of the Middle East and Islam within a globalized world. Accordingly, the curriculum covers topics of recent scholarly significance including the new media, political Islam, the political economy of business-government networks, the relationship between “resource wars” and the “war on terrorism,” new diasporas and transnational Muslim communities in the ‘West,’ and the changed geopolitical environments of Muslim and Middle Eastern countries. This interdisciplinary graduate degree prepares students for a variety of post-graduate opportunities in academia, government, and an expanding job market for people with this expertise.
