Program of Study
The programs for the Bachelor of Arts degree in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations are as varied as the wide subject matter they embrace. In consultation with their advisers, students work out a program that meets their cultural interests and provides a sound basis for graduate work. The areas of specialization that can be advised include:
Arabic and Islam (including Turkish and Persian)
Archaeology and Art of the Ancient Near East
Assyriology
Egyptian Languages and Civilization

Near Eastern Jewish Studies
Program Requirements
Twelve courses are required in the area of specialization. All students must take one of the sequences that introduce the special fields.
Hum 200-201-202. Judaic Civilization I, II, III

Ritner. Spring.
260. Near Eastern Civilization II: Introduction to Egyptian Religion (=Egypt 260, NECiv 212). The course provides a general introduction to the theology and ritual practice of Ancient Egypt from the Predynastic Period to the late Roman Empire (ca. 3,100 B.C.E. to 543 C.E.). Illustrated lectures survey primary mythology, the nature of Egyptian "magic," the evolving role of the priesthood, the function of temple and tomb architecture, mummification and funerary rites, the Amarna revolution and the origins of monotheism, and the impact of Egyptian religion on neighboring belief systems. Students read a wide array of original texts in addition to modern interpretive studies. Texts in English. R. Ritner. Winter.
201-202-203. Introductory Modern Hebrew I, II, III (=Hebrew 201-202-203, JewStd 250-251-252/350, LngLin 201-202-203). This course sequence fulfills the Common Core foreign language requirement. This course introduces students to reading, writing, and speaking modern Hebrew. All four language skills are emphasized: comprehension of written and oral materials; reading of nondiacritical text; writing of directed sentences, paragraphs, and compositions; and speaking. Students learn the Hebrew root pattern system and the seven basic verb conjugations in both the past and present tenses, as well as simple future. At the end of the year, students can conduct short conversations in Hebrew, read materials designed to their level, and write short essays. A. Finkelstein. Autumn, Winter, Spring.
204-205-206. Intermediate Modern Hebrew I, II, III (=Hebrew 204-205-206, JewStd 253-254-255/353-354-355, LngLin 204-205-206). The course is devised for students who had previously taken either modern or biblical Hebrew courses. The main objective is to provide students with the skills necessary to approach modern Hebrew prose, both fiction and nonfiction. In order to achieve this task, students are provided with a systematic examination of the complete verb structure. Many syntactic structures are introduced, including simple clauses, and coordinate and compound sentences. At this level, students not only write and speak extensively, but are also required to analyze grammatically and contextually all of the material assigned. A. Finkelstein. Autumn, Winter, Spring.
230-231-232. Advanced Modern Hebrew I, II, III (=Hebrew 230-231-232, JewStd 256-257-258/356-357-358). This course assumes that students have full mastery of the grammatical and lexical content at the intermediate level. However, there is a shift from a reliance on the cognitive approach to an emphasis on the expansion of various grammatical and vocabulary-related subjects. Students are introduced to sophisticated and more complex syntactic constructions, and instructed how to transform simple sentences into more complicated ones. The exercises address the creative effort on the part of the student, and the reading segments are longer and more challenging in both style and content. The language of the texts reflects the literary written medium rather than the more informal spoken style, which often dominates the introductory and intermediate texts. A. Finkelstein. Autumn, Winter, Spring.
242-243. Historical Introduction to Modern Hebrew Literature I, II. This course deals with the intertextual nature of Hebrew literature in all its periods. The first quarter consists of an historical survey of the various periods of Hebrew literary creativity: the Bible, the Midrash, medieval poetry, and the modern era. The second quarter focuses on the main forms of modern Hebrew literature and the disputes concerning the beginning of modernity in Hebrew literature (the role of autobiography, the novel, and the long poem) in addition to the impact of German and Russian literatures and modern Hebrew literature as a vehicle of social criticism. M. Brinker. Autumn, Winter.
250-251-252. Elementary Classical Hebrew I, II, III (=Hebrew 250-251-252, JewStd 220-221-222/302). This course sequence fulfills the Common Core foreign language requirement. Staff. Autumn, Winter, Spring.
253-254-255. Intermediate Classical Hebrew I, II, III (=Hebrew 253-254-255, JewStd 223-224-225/305). D. Pardee. Autumn, Winter, Spring.
220-221-222. Elementary Hittite I, II, III. This course sequence fulfills the Common Core foreign language requirement. H. Hoffner. Autumn, Winter, Spring.
323-324-325. Intermediate Hittite I, II, III. H. Hoffner. Autumn, Winter, Spring.
326-327-328. Advanced Hittite I, II, III. H. Hoffner. Autumn, Winter, Spring.
280-281-282. Medieval Jewish History I, II, III (=Hum 230-231-232, JewStd 230-231-232/381-382-383, MdvJSt 280-281-282). PQ: Consent of instructor. This three-quarter sequence deals with the history of the Jews over a wide geographical and historical range. First-quarter work is concerned with the rise of early rabbinic Judaism and development of the Jewish community in Palestine and the eastern and western diasporas during the first several centuries C.E. Topics include the legal status of the Jews in the Roman world, the rise of rabbinic Judaism, the rabbinic literature of Palestine in that context, the spread of rabbinic Judaism, the rise and decline of competing centers of Jewish hegemony, the introduction of Hebrew language and culture beyond the confines of their original home, and the impact of the birth of Islam on the political and cultural status of the Jews. An attempt is made to evaluate the main characteristics of Jewish belief and social concepts in the formative periods of Judaism as it developed beyond its original geographical boundaries. Second-quarter work is concerned with the Jews under Islam, both in Eastern and Western Caliphates. Third-quarter work is concerned with the Jews of Western Europe until the time of the first crusade. N. Golb. Autumn, Winter, Spring.
