FLAS Arabic Language Graduate Programs

[vagabondage]

Hi friends,

I want to do an MA program in the Arabic language. I basically want to use a FLAS to study abroad as much as possible (dream would be CASA in Dimashq). I have been searching for a while but have been unable to locate just a website listing all the possible MA programs do use the FLAS to study Modern Standard Arabic. Does anyone have a link to such a list?

Has anyone else looked into this and found outstanding MSA masters programs? Any advice would be much appreciated.

BTW, Stanford graduate on a Fulbright in Jordan here, would be applying for MA programs starting summer or fall 2011.

Thanks!

Hi, I am probably not telling you anything you don't already know, but I think basically all of the major Middle Eastern Studies/Near Eastern Languages programs list FLAS funding as an option. When I was researching MA programs I can't think of one I saw for which FLAS was not named...I think any program offering an FLAS languages will be eligible (think, don't know).

For Arabic/Semitic languages specifically, I think UT Austin is very highly regarded, Georgetown, Chicago, NYU. Arabic isn't my primary interest, so I can't tell you much more! Good luck!
