Master of Arts in Liberal Studies: Islam and Muslim-Christian Relations
The center established the Master of Arts Degree in Liberal Studies in "Islam and Muslim-Christian Relations" in 1998 to foster a better global understanding of Islam and Muslim-Christian relations. The degree requires that candidates complete ten courses, a total of thirty credits, which include one Core Course and one Human Values Course (or two Core Courses) and a thesis.
Candidates must complete seven courses in the field of Islam and Muslim-Christian Relations and choose three additional courses from this field, other related Liberal Studies fields, or other relevant Georgetown University departmental courses. Each candidate will be assigned a mentor (faculty member of the Center) to provide advice on establishing a long-range program.
