Master of Middle East Policy Studies

The Pepperdine Master of Middle East Policy Studies (MMEPS) is the product of a unique partnership between Pepperdine’s School of Public Policy and The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, America’s leading policy research institution focusing exclusively on the Middle East. Unlike any program in the nation, this two-year, in-person program blends study of the modern Middle East and coursework on U.S. policy toward the region with practical skills training designed to equip the early-career professional for success in diplomacy, intelligence, research, development, advocacy, journalism, business or further academic studies.
