Overview

Key facts

The Department of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University offers a liberal arts concentration designed to give students competence in a Near Eastern language and a broad knowledge of the civilizations of the ancient, medieval, and modern Near East—made up of the Arab countries, Iran, Israel, and Turkey—and beyond to Afghanistan and Central Asia.

The major is built around departmental and cognate courses in history, literature, religion, law, anthropology, art history, and politics, combined with the study of one or more Near Eastern languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, or Turkish). The department faculty's approach to the study of this region is multifaceted and extends from ancient times to the present.
