M.A. Middle Eastern Studies Programs

[rlattin]

Hey guys,

I'm interested in a M.A. in Middle Eastern Studies. I want one that will allow me an easy transition into government agencies or Think tanks. Does anyone know which are the top schools for this, also does anyone know where I can find a list of the top programs in general? What does it take to get into these places, I graduated Cum Laude from the University of Arizona's Near Eastern Studies Program, speak Hebrew, am working on Arabic, and lived in Israel for a year. Hope someone can shed some light on some of this stuff. Thanks
