Islamic Studies/MES/NELC Fall 2022

[AlQayzar]

Hello everyone, I thought I would get a thread going for us applicants since I don't see one already. This is for students and hopefuls applying to Doctoral programs in Islamic Studies, Near Eastern Languages (NELC) and Middle Eastern Studies (MES) for the fall of 2022. I will update briefly with where I am applying and I'd love to hear from you as well.

Cast your net far and wide, that's the only advice I'll give.

Any takers? I've applied to: 

Yale Religion (Islamic Studies)

Duke Religion (Islamic Studies)

NYU MEIS

Harvard CMES

Exeter AIS (Accepted)

SOAS (Islamic Law)

... and a spattering of History and Anthro MA programs. 

Does anyone have any insights on timelines/interviews?

I applied to UChicago (NELC), Princeton (NES), U of T (NMC), UW (NMES)!

It seems that Princeton recently sent out emails for interview to shortlisted applicants; Sadly I haven't heard anything from them. ?

Hey,

I only applied to Islamic Studies, my research area intersects south asian studies and Islamic Studies so I didn't apply to a lot of programs. I wanted to be in a faculty with a lot of Islamic Studies courses and academics and there arent many of those in Islamic Studies.

McGill Institute of Islamic Studies MA (Got an offer)

The University of Oxford MPhil in Islamic Studies and History(They asked me if I wanted to reroute my application to Modern MENA Studies as per the faculty's suggestion)

University of Chicago Divinity School MA in Islamic Studies
