Applications Open | Islamic Studies MA Programs

The Middle East Institute at Columbia University is excited to announce that applications are open for our two MA programs:

Each of these programs brings together a select cohort of students to delve into the religious and intellectual traditions of Islam and the diverse regional histories, cultures, and social formations of Muslim societies around the world.

A full scholarship and additional funding are available for qualified students. 

Please help spread the word by sharing this announcement with students and scholars who may be interested in joining our interdisciplinary community.
