The Center for Middle Eastern Studies serves as a hub for multidisciplinary research on the Middle East and North Africa at Harvard University, fostering an active community that welcomes your involvement.
At the Center for Middle Eastern Studies (CMES), we provide a focal point for cross-disciplinary exploration of the Middle East and North Africa at Harvard, creating a dynamic environment that invites your engagement. Whether pursuing an AM or PhD degree, you'll gain access to nearly 100 annual events featuring workshops, seminars, and discussions with scholars, policy experts, and media professionals. Our Tunisia Office stands as a unique asset supporting regional research and language acquisition.
The Center's doctoral program allows specialization in one of three combined Middle Eastern studies tracks: history, anthropology, or art and architectural history. Each concentration involves close collaboration with distinguished faculty from our partner departments. You'll also have opportunities to interact with specialists across disciplines while developing proficiency in at least one Middle Eastern research language.

Qualification Requirements
GSAS welcomes applications for admission from individuals who have or will have by the time of matriculation a BA, BS, or equivalent undergraduate degree (for prospective international students, a three- or four-year undergraduate degree from an institution of recognized standing) and actively seeks applicants from groups historically underrepresented in graduate schools.
Applicants are required to upload transcript copies from each college/university they attended into our online application system: official hard copy/paper transcripts are not required at the time of application.
Applicants who are non-native English speakers and who received their undergraduate degree from an academic institution where English is not the primary language of instruction must prove their English proficiency by earning either a minimum score of 80 on the Internet based test (iBT) of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or a minimum score of 6.5 on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Academic test.
