Description:
Struggles over democracy have become a defining feature of contemporary
life, in the U.S. and around the world. These trends have fueled the growth
of professional opportunities linked to democracy and democracy promotion.
In response we created the innovative two-year Georgetown University M.A.
program in Democracy and Governance, designed for those seeking to develop
or enhance careers working on behalf of democratic change, governance
reform, and human rights. The program, housed in the highly-ranked
Department of Government, provides training organized around four central
themes: * 1) History and Theories of Democracy and Democratization, * 2)
Democracy, Governance, and Institutions, * 3) Democracy and Civil Society,
and * 4) Democracy, Governance, and Development Policy. Each core field
encompasses issues that are central to an understanding of current debates
in the study of democracy and governance, with a balance of applied and
theoretical training. Most students supplement their coursework with
internships designed to provide valuable hands-on experience. Current
students have worked at Democracy International, the National Democratic
Institute, the United States Institute of Peace, International Foundation
for Election Systems, the Center for Strategic and International Studies,
and the Institute for the Study of International Migration, among others.

Description:
Georgetown University's Center for Contemporary Arab Studies (CCAS) offers a
program of study leading to the M.A. degree. The Arab Studies program was
established in 1978 to help meet the need for men and women highly trained
and deeply knowledgeable about the language, history, culture, politics, and
economics of the contemporary Arab world. The program provides a focus that
sets it apart from other, more broadly constructed Middle East Studies
programs in the United States. Within that Arab world focus, students
construct interdisciplinary curricula that prepare them for a wide variety
of careers involving the Arab world in diplomacy, government, development,
business and finance, teaching, higher education, journalism, public
relations, and cultural affairs. The program's demanding Arabic language
requirement is a distinguishing feature regularly cited by applicants and
alumni alike as a major draw and strength.
In addition to several existing joint programs, a new joint program
leading to a Master's degree and a Doctor of Law (J.D.) degree is also
available. This joint program offers Master's level study in the field of
Arab Studies from Georgetown's Graduate School and School of Foreign
Service, integrated with a program of legal studies offered by the
Georgetown Law Center. The joint program, offering the two degrees, can be
completed in four years.
