of Egyptology (MA)
School of Social

Atlantic International University
The Master of Egyptology (MA) program objective
is to help students acquire the necessary
knowledge and understanding of ancient Egyptian,
Persian, Turkish, Hebrew and Judaic cultures/civilizations
of the ancient world. The Master of Egyptology
program is offered online via distance learning.
After evaluating both academic record and
life experience, AIU staff working in conjunction
with Faculty and Academic Advisors will
assist students in setting up a custom-made
program, designed on an individual basis.
This flexibility to meet student needs is
seldom found in other distance learning
programs. Our online program does not require
all students to take the same subjects/courses,
use the same books, or learning materials.
Instead, the online Master of Egyptology
curriculum is designed individually by the
student and academic advisor. It specifically
addresses strengths and weaknesses with
respect to market opportunities in the student’s
major and intended field of work. Understanding
that industry and geographic factors should
influence the content of the curriculum
instead of a standardized one-fits-all design
is the hallmark of AIU’s unique approach
to adult education. This philosophy addresses
the dynamic and constantly changing environment
of working professionals by helping adult
students in reaching their professional
and personal goals within the scope of the
degree program.
Important: Below is an example of the topics
or areas you may develop and work on during
your studies. By no means is it a complete
or required list as AIU programs do not
follow a standardized curriculum. It is
meant solely as a reference point and example.

Job Description
Master of Egyptology
Egyptologists specialize either in language
or archaeology, although all must take at
least some courses in both areas. As a specialist
in the ancient Egyptian language, Egyptologists
will need to take courses in the various
forms of the language (Old, Middle and Late
Egyptian in both hieroglyphic and hieratic
scripts, Demotic, and Coptic). Specialization
in Egyptian archaeology, courses on art
and architecture of ancient Egypt in different
periods will be needed. Having some training
in another specialty of use to archaeology
can often increase marketability, so consider
learning surveying, photography, or drawing.
