Chicago's MA in Middle East studies offered by the social sci division - part of MAPSS cashcow?

[Khayzuran]

Hi all,

Chicago's Center for Middle East studies offers a MA "through" either the Social Sciences division or the Humanities division. I was wondering whether having it through the Social Sciences division equals being a student of the MAPSS school with an area study focus, thereby being stuck with the so-called cashcow department of Chicago?

Is anyone familiar with how the U of Chicago departments/schools are organized in this matter? Thanks.
