Overview

Beyond the MA

The Department of Jewish, Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies does not currently offer a home-based Ph.D. program. Students who would like to pursue a PhD in one of the fields of Jewish Studies or Islamic and Near Eastern Studies may do so under the auspices of a PhD granting department or program at Washington University in St. Louis (such as History, Anthropology, or Comparative Literature) in cooperation with participating faculty from JIMES.

In such instances, the prospective student should apply directly to the appropriate disciplinary department or program at Washington University.
