    MA Programs in Abrahamic Studies

    An MA, or Master of Arts, is a graduate degree awarded to students who complete a curriculum of advanced courses. It can be a terminal degree in and of itself, or it can prepare recipients for doctorate-level study.

    What is an MA in Abrahamic Studies? An MA in Abrahamic Studies is a degree that incorporates the study of religions such as Judaism, Islam and Christianity within global and historical perspectives. Students who studied topics like philosophy, global studies and religion while earning their undergraduate degree may be well-suited for this graduate degree. Since many of the texts studied will be in Arabic or Hebrew, you will likely be required to take courses in one or both of these languages, and the rest of your courses will likely focus on studying various religious documents.

    Some students pursue an MA in Abrahamic Studies to supplement a degree in theology or divinity and pursue preaching. The degree may also qualify you to teach classes on religion at the high school or college level. The in-depth knowledge students gain from the program would be beneficial in a variety of applications.

    The cost of an MA may be greater than the cost of undergraduate coursework, but it will still vary greatly depending on the program you choose. Contacting the admissions office at the school you are applying to is the best way to get accurate information on tuition.

    An MA in Abrahamic Studies may provide you with the skills and knowledge to apply your specialization through a doctorate program or a job in the field. Jobs prospects include ministry, academics, writing and research. If you are able to master Hebrew or Arabic during the program, this can provide you with even more promising opportunities.
