Applications Open for Fall 2024 M.A. in Kurdish Studies

Zahra Institute is delighted to announce the opening of applications for our M.A. Program in Kurdish Studies. The deadline for applications for Fall semester is 15 July 2024. The online, two-year M.A. program consists of 31 credits and welcomes full-time and part-time students.

The Master of Arts in Kurdish Studies at Zahra Institute is the first of its kind in the United States. Our courses offer insights into the lives and cultures of the Kurds, a Middle Eastern people living in Kurdistan and beyond, spread across the borders of several modern states and linguistic and cultural zones.

For the 2024 Fall semester courses, Zahra Institute offers the following: Approaches to Kurdish Studies, Introduction to Linguistics and Kurdish Studies, History and Literature of the Kurds, Kurmanji and Sorani Kurdish language courses, among others.

The M.A. Program provides excellent background preparation for a doctoral degree in any field related to the Middle East and for those interested in pursuing careers in media, government, and international organizations. Our liberal arts approach to Kurdish Studies is based on rigorous academic standards and a strong commitment to scholarly freedom.

We offer both M.A. and Certificate in Kurdish Studies. Kurdish language courses are offered as electives in the M.A. program, or as standalone courses. We also offer a M.A. and Certificate in Critical Muslim Studies.
