To meet this growing demand, the University of Maryland offers two unique graduate programs: * 15-credit Graduate Certificate in Professional Studies in Persian * 30-credit Master of Professional Studies in Persian The Master of Professional Studies and Graduate Certificate provides students with an opportunity to develop professional proficiency in Persian, sufficient to study through, or work in, the language. The Persian Language Program employs an innovative, task-based curriculum, with content areas in modern Iranian culture, politics and international relations. Students effectively live in a Persian-speaking environment during their time at Maryland, with at least five hours a day of structured language learning experiences. Students also gain language exposure through various combinations of peer tutors (Persian native speakers matched with students in the same academic or career field) and faculty mentors. A dedicated Persian study area filled with Persian multimedia resources, and a rich variety of visiting speakers, field trips, and other formal and informal cultural experiences are key components of the program. Full funding is available through the Institute of International Education (IIE) to qualified students willing to make a two-year commitment to government service.
