Bachelor degree
Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations
|
|
|
The concentration in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations introduces students to the peoples, languages, cultures and societies of the Near Middle East. Beyond the development of skills in one (or more) of the languages of the region and participation in the department's one-semester sophomore tutorial, a wide variety of directions of study are available to concentrators. The concentration is intended to provide a solid grounding in the student's area of focus and to offer an in-depth look at the ways in which modern scholars seek to understand the languages and cultures that have come from this region of the world.
A common thread uniting the various possible directions of study in the concentration is the conviction that facility with the appropriate language(s) is the starting point of all serious work in the various areas involved. Accordingly all concentrators must complete at least four semesters of a departmental language. To further this goal, as well as to provide prolonged exposure to the civilizations of the region, the Department makes possible a junior year abroad (e.g., in Cairo or Jerusalem), so long as the course work completed abroad falls within the concentration and is approved by the student's advisor.
Undergraduate students with advanced standing have the option of applying for a joint A.B./A.M. degree. The Joint Degree Program at Harvard is in practice a double degree program; it involves earning independent master's and bachelor's degrees which are conferred at the same time. Joint degree candidates register at the College in the usual way and carry a normal undergraduate bursar's card. Their academic programs are different from those of other fourth-year students in that they are ordinarily focused narrowly on one area of specialization and often involve quite advanced work in that field.
