The Washington Institute and Pepperdine Launch New, Full Scholarship Master's Program in Middle East Policy StudiesIn a partnership unique in American higher education, Pepperdine University and The Washington Institute for Near East Policy today launched a new, fully accredited master’s program in Middle East policy studies. The two-year, in-person program will be based at Pepperdine’s eight-floor Washington campus. Applications to the program, which is planned to open with its first group of students in late August 2025, are now being accepted. To ensure that merit is the sole factor in admission, the program will provide full scholarships to the inaugural cohort. The new program reflects a novel collaboration between the Malibu, CA-based Pepperdine, a US News top-100 university grounded in moral leadership and a commitment to free inquiry, and The Washington Institute, one of America’s leading research organizations on Middle East politics and U.S. policy. The faculty of the new program will draw upon the Institute’s nationally recognized experts, together with the finest scholars and policy practitioners from Pepperdine and around the world. The curriculum will focus on three pillars: understanding the history, politics and economics of the contemporary Middle East; understanding the evolution of American foreign policy, especially toward the Middle East; and understanding the policymaker’s toolkit, from policy design to execution. An integral part of the program will be a Middle East study tour, guided by Washington Institute experts, for students to see firsthand the challenges facing U.S. policy in the region.
