IU and the Hamilton Lugar School have long offered outstanding Master’s level training in Middle Eastern Studies, including Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures and Egyptology. This year, we are developing an exciting new Master’s degree that will combine our offerings in international and regional studies, including those focused on the Middle East. Newly admitted students will be able to choose from all the excellent courses we have offered as part of our MA degrees in Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures and in Egyptology. Students also will be able to take some new cross-regional and comparative courses. This new degree will empower students to pursue a deep understanding of Middle Eastern languages, histories, politics, and cultures while enjoying the benefits of membership in a strong cohort of colleagues with diverse interests spanning the globe.
We encourage students interested in Middle Eastern Studies to apply to our new MA/MS in International and Regional Studies. Please do not hesitate to be in touch with Carissa Garletts, our Director of Admissions, at hlsgrad@iu.edu with any questions.
