Director: P. Fargues
Associate Director: R. Jureidini

The Center for Migration and Refugee Studies (CMRS), previously known as the Forced Migration and Refugee Studies program (FMRS), was first established in 2000 and was expanded in 2008 into a Regional Center  encompassing all forms of international mobility, whether voluntary or forced, economic or political, individual or collective, temporary or permanent.  

CMRS activities include Graduate Education, Research and Outreach activities.  

CMRS offers a Master of Arts in Migration and Refugee Studies and a Graduate Diploma in Forced Migration and Refugee Studies. As of fall 2009, CMRS is also offering an additional Graduate Diploma with a Specialization in Psychosocial Intervention for forced migrants and refugees.  
This new diploma is offered in collaboration with the new International Counseling and Community Psychology graduate program in the Psychology Unit.

The CMRS research program includes a systematic and comparative inventory of the situation regarding migration and refugee movements across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), as well as in-depth studies of emerging issues in the region. 

CMRS outreach includes disseminating knowledge on migration and refugee issues beyond the university’s gates, as well as providing a range of educational services to refugee communities.
