The Ph.D. program in Near Eastern Studies offers a comprehensive path for students interested in exploring the history, culture, languages, and societies of the Near East. Students are expected to develop deep expertise in at least one language relevant to their research, such as Arabic, Hebrew, or Turkish, while also gaining a broad understanding of the region’s ancient to modern periods. The program encourages original research that contributes new insights into the complex histories and cultures of the area, supported by extensive coursework, language training, and close mentorship from faculty members who are experts in various fields related to the Near East.
Students in the program work towards producing a dissertation that demonstrates their ability to conduct independent research at a high level. They are encouraged to engage critically with interdisciplinary approaches, combining methods from history, archaeology, anthropology, and other disciplines. Along the way, students participate in seminars, conferences, and collaborative projects that foster intellectual growth and professional development. The program prepares students for careers in academia, research institutions, or cultural organizations, providing them with a solid foundation in Near Eastern studies and the skills needed to pursue advanced scholarship or related work in the field.
