    MA Programs in Arabic Studies

    Students who have earned their bachelor’s degree and are looking to further their studies often go on to study for a master’s degree. A Master of Arts focuses on the humanities and usually takes two years to complete, possibly leading to expanded career opportunities.

    So, what is an MA in Arabic Studies? These kinds of programs offer an emphasis on the literature, culture and history of Arabic societies. As such, you will likely take classes such as Arabic linguistics, literary methodologies, Middle East history, Islamic studies and more. Emphasis may likely be put on examining patterns of thought and historical events that lead to various literary movements. Pursuing education in this field at the master’s level offers more opportunities for in-depth Arabic studies than a bachelor’s degree would.

    Benefits of studying Arabic culture include a heightened ability to critically engage with text and ideas – a skill helpful outside of the university in a variety of careers and social situations. You may also develop enhanced research skills and achieve proficiency in Modern Standardized Arabic, aiding in communication thereafter with Arabic-speaking peoples.

    Costs for a master’s program in Arabic studies vary depending on the location of the program and on the university. Ask your academic advisor about any specific financial questions for master’s degree programs.

    Earning a Master’s in Arabic Studies can lead to many exciting career opportunities. Students have sometimes graduated to go on to work in politics or as an economist. By studying Arabic culture and society, students bring an enriched perspective to lawmaking and international relations careers. You may also choose a career as an educator or researcher, teaching other students and publishing valuable studies. Additionally, there may be career opportunities as a translator.
