Georgetown's MAAS vs. Harvard's AM (Middle Eastern Studies)

[ayoz88]

Hi everyone,

 

I was admitted to Georgetown's Arab Studies program and Harvard's Middle Eastern Studies program. Both are great programs. Anyone have any insight or opinions about which would be the better option? Thanks!

I am at Georgetown right now for Asian Studies, but from my interactions with colleagues and peers, it appears that Georgetown is particularly strong for Arabic language study. In fact, it has the largest Arabic language enrollment in the entire country, so you will have a strong community of people interested in the Middle East! 

 

Other than that though, I don't know much else about the programs, but if you do end up coming to Georgetown I'd be happy to tell you anything about it that you're wondering or wanting to know!
