The Program in Near Eastern Studies provides students in any department with the opportunity to study the languages, modern history, and contemporary institutions of the Near East. (For the program, the Near East is defined as the entire Arab world and the present-day states of Iran, Israel, and Turkey.) The program offers an undergraduate certificate in combination with a student’s departmental concentration. At the graduate level, the NES program offers a two-year, multidisciplinary course of study that leads to a Master of Arts. Doctoral students in the departments of anthropology, economics, history, Near Eastern studies, politics, or sociology may supplement their training with a coordinated program in the three above areas. Students from other departments who have an interest in Near Eastern studies may enter the program by special arrangement with the director.

Director: M. Sükrü Hanioglu
