Overview
Students who have completed graduate coursework in a field other than Middle Eastern Studies may be able to transfer some units towards MENAS Ph.D. requirements, depending on their applicability as determined by the departmental Graduate Studies Committee. Once advised to do so by this committee, such students should submit a request to the Graduate College (in consultation with the Graduate Advisor) prior to the end of their first year of study.
The Middle Eastern and North African Studies at University of Arizona invites highly qualified BA students to apply directly to the Ph.D. program. Applicants accepted into the Ph.D. program without an MA will be awarded an MA in MENAS after successfully completing the MENAS MA requirements, which are included in their course of doctoral study. These requirements comprise 33 units of graduate MENAS coursework.
Department
The School of Middle Eastern and North African Studies is a multi-disciplinary unit focusing on the region extending from Morocco to Afghanistan which includes the Arab world, Iran, Israel and Turkey, providing a full range of language courses in Arabic, Persian, Turkish and Hebrew (through Judaic Studies) and undergraduate and graduate studies in culture, history, religion, politics and conflict.
