The Department of Near Eastern Studies offers instruction in the languages,
literatures, histories, and cultures of the ancient Near East and the medieval
and modern Middle East. The department's language offerings provide the
foundation for the academic study of the literatures, histories, and cultures
of the region. The ancient language offerings include Sumerian, Egyptian,
Akkadian, Hittite, Ugaritic, Avestan, Aramaic, Classical Hebrew, and Coptic.
The medieval and modern language offerings include Arabic, Hebrew, Kurdish,
Persian and Turkish. The undergraduate programs in the department are designed
to initiate the academic study of the region, enhance the student's critical
skills, and promote an increased understanding of the historical processes
underlying the transformation of cultures.
Prerequisite to Concentration. All Near Eastern Studies concentrators
must complete the prerequisite course 100, Peoples of the Middle East.
Concentration Programs. The student must select one of four divisions
in Near Eastern Studies in which to pursue a concentration. Three divisions
with special language requirements are: Ancient
Civilizations and Biblical Studies (ACABS); Arabic,
Persian, Turkish and Islamic Studies (APTIS); or
Hebrew and Jewish Cultural Studies (HJCS). Each
of the three divisions provides specific programs to enhance the focus of
the concentration. The department also offers a general studies concentration:
the Near Eastern Studies Departmental Concentration
(NESDC), a concentration without the language component of other program
concentrations. A concentration in the department requires completion of
course work in four categories: the prerequisite course, the required language
courses, the divisional elective courses and the optional elective or cognate
courses. The
divisions and their programs are described below.
All Near Eastern Studies concentrators must complete a minimum of thirty
hours of concentration credit in the languages, literatures, histories, and
cultures of the region. In addition, each concentrator must select two additional
courses from offerings other than those provided by the division of
concentration. Both cognate courses must be approved by the director of
undergraduate studies and the student's concentration advisor. The student
must maintain a grade of at least a C in each term of a required concentration
language. Those courses for which a student receives a lesser grade must
be repeated.
Honors Concentration. Those concentrators who qualify as candidates
for Honors in Near Eastern Studies must meet the requirements for a regular
concentration, maintain a GPA of at least 3.25 overall and 3.5 in the
concentration, and complete the writing of a senior thesis with distinction.
Honors concentrators are required to enroll in a one-credit hour course on
thesis writing (496) and the three-credit thesis course (497) during the
senior year of research and writing. Further information concerning the Honors
concentration can be obtained at the departmental office (3074 Frieze Bldg)
or the Honors Program Office (1228 Angell Hall).
Advising. Students interested in the Department's concentration programs
in ACABS, APTIS, HJCS, or NESDC should contact the department's director
of undergraduate studies who will direct the student to the appropriate
concentration advisor. Students who plan to complete the concentration
requirements for a Bachelor of Arts degree in Near Eastern Studies must complete
the LS&A Declaration Form. This form is available at the departmental
office, or at the Academic Actions Office (1219 Angell Hall). One copy should
be submitted to the Department of Near Eastern Studies and the other to the
Academic Advising Center (1255 Angell Hall).
Undergraduate Prizes. The Department of Near Eastern Studies awards
four annual student prizes for excellence in ancient Near Eastern and medieval
and modern Middle Eastern studies:
* The George G. Cameron Award in Ancient Civilizations and Biblical Studies
* The George and Celeste Hourani Award in Arabic, Persian, Turkish and Islamic
Studies
* The Leroy T. Waterman Award in Hebrew and Jewish Cultural Studies
* The Ernest T. Abdel Massih Award in Arabic
Student Organization. Concentrators in Near Eastern Studies have the
opportunity to participate in a student organization, the Undergraduate Near
Eastern Studies Association (UNESA). The association is comprised of current
and potential concentrators. Its goals include: organizing the department's
undergraduates into a more cohesive, directed body; identifying funding for
research and study trips abroad; assisting in the development of the curriculum;
bringing in guest lecturers; and helping each other with graduate school
and employment applications.
Associated Units and Resources. The department's offerings represent
only a part of the total number of University's courses devoted to the study
of the ancient Near East and medieval and modern Middle East. Other campus
units that can provide resources and relevant course offerings to the
concentrator include:
* The Center for Middle Eastern and North
African Studies (CMENAS)
* The Program on Studies in Religion
(PSIR)
* The Center for Judaic
Studies
* Project FLAME (Foreign Language Applications in the Multimedia
Environment)
For other resources and course offerings, applicants should consult the listings
in the departments and program units of Anthropology, Classical Studies,
History, History of Art, Linguistics, Philosophy, and Political Science.
These are listed in the department's brochure (available at 3074 Frieze
Bldg).
Study Abroad. Concentrators are strongly encouraged to spend all or
part of an academic year at overseas universities and programs in order to
further their formal Near Eastern Studies training. The department has
associations with several universities and programs abroad. In addition to
consulting the University of Michigan's Study Abroad program and the
International Center, concentrators should contact the department undergraduate
advisor and the concentration advisor concerning such a course of study.
A program should be decided upon in advance in order to ensure that transfer
credit can be awarded and that courses will satisfy concentration
requirements.
May be elected as a departmental concentration program
The division of Ancient
Civilizations and Biblical Studies (ACABS)
offers instruction at the introductory to advanced levels in the languages,
literatures, histories, cultures and religions of the ancient Near East
(Anatolia, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Israel, and Syria) . The concentrator in ACABS
can select from one of three options within the division designed to meet
the special interests of the student: Ancient Mesopotamia, Hebrew Bible/
Ancient Israel, or New Testament/Early Christianity.
The concentrator in ACABS is required to complete four terms of language.
The languages for which four terms of instruction are offered include Akkadian,
Classical Hebrew, or Greek. Fourth term proficiency in Classical Hebrew or
Greek satisfies the language requirement of the College of LS&A. The
student has the option to complete only two terms of one of those three languages
and two subsequent terms of a second (and third) language. In place of four
terms of one language, the concentrator can select one of the following three
language options: one year of Akkadian followed by one year of Sumerian,
or one year of Classical Hebrew followed by one term of Aramaic and another
of Ugaritic, or one year of Classical Greek followed by one year of Coptic.
In addition to the four terms of language, the ACABS concentrator must elect
six additional courses in the languages, literatures, histories, and cultures
and religions of the ancient Near East. These six divisional courses are
to be selected from the four course levels: one at the 100 level, one at
the 200 level, one at the 300 level, and three at the 400-500 level. The
concentrator must also complete two elective cognate courses outside the
division of concentration. The concentration courses must be approved by
the director of undergraduate studies and the concentration advisor. The
concentration advisors for the options in the concentration of Ancient
Civilizations and Biblical Studies are:
* Ancient Mesopotamia, Professor Norman Yoffee
* Hebrew Bible/Ancient Israel, Professor Brian Schmidt
* New Testament/Early Christianity, Professor Jarl Fossum
May be elected as a departmental concentration program
The division of Arabic, Persian, Turkish and Islamic Studies (APTIS)
offers instruction at the introductory to the advanced level in medieval
and modern Arabic, Persian, and Turkish languages and literatures. Courses
in the histories and cultures of select regions represented by these language
groups are also offered as are a wide range of topics in Islamic studies.
The concentrator in APTIS can select from one of four options within the
division designed to meet the special interests of the student: Arabic, Persian,
Turkish or Islamic Studies.
A concentrator in APTIS must complete four terms of a single language or
three terms of intensive language training. Fourth term proficiency in Arabic,
Persian, or Turkish satisfies the language requirement of the College of
LS&A. APTIS concentrators must also select five other courses in the
languages, literatures, linguistics, histories, cultures and religions most
closely related to their language of choice. Two of the five courses must
be at the 400 level or above. The concentrator must complete two elective
cognate courses outside the division of concentration. These courses must
be approved by the director of undergraduate studies and the concentration
advisor. Students in Islamic Studies must take Arabic, since most pertinent
texts are in that language.
The student should consult with the director of undergraduate studies and
the faculty advisor in selecting the appropriate concentration program. The
concentration advisors for the BA degree in the Division of Arabic, Persian,
Turkish, and Islamic Studies are:
* Arabic, Professor Raji Rammuny
* Persian, Professor Gernot Windfuhr
* Turkish, Professor James Stewart-Robinson
* Islamic Studies, Professor Michael Bonner
May be elected as a departmental concentration program
The division of Hebrew and Jewish Cultural Studies (HJCS) offers
instruction in Hebrew language and literature and Jewish culture and
civilization. In addition to providing concentrators with a sound liberal
arts background, the program prepares students for continued academic studies
- particularly in Hebrew and Judaic Studies, for teaching, for employment
in Jewish community services, and for careers in government or private
employment.
All concentrators in HJCS are required to complete as additional prerequisite
courses, Hebrew 201 and 202. For a concentration in HJCS, the student must
complete four additional terms of language: the 301-302 sequence and two
courses at the advanced level. Fourth term proficiency in modern Hebrew satisfies
the language requirement of the College of LS&A. In addition to the four
terms of language, the HJCS concentrator must elect five additional courses
in the division: a general survey course and four courses in the fields of
literature, history, or culture. The HJCS concentrator must also choose two
cognate courses outside the division of concentration. These courses must
be approved by the director of undergraduate studies and the concentration
advisor:
HJCS, Professor Marc Bernstein
May be elected as a departmental concentration program
The Department of Near Eastern Studies also offers a general departmental
studies concentration. The purpose of this concentration is to provide the
student with an intensive survey of the literatures, histories, cultures,
and religions of the ancient Near East and the medieval and modern Middle
East but without the language component of the other program concentrations.
The student who wishes to declare the Near Eastern Studies Departmental
Concentration (NESDC) may substitute for the four terms of language an
equal number of courses in literature, history, or culture and religion.
The student must obtain prior approval from the director of undergraduate
studies and the concentration advisor to declare this concentration. The
NESDC concentrator must complete at least six of the ten total courses in
one of the three divisions within the department, ACABS, APTIS, or HJCS,
and one course in each of the other two. Of those six divisional courses,
the student must select a minimum of three from the 400-500 level offerings.
As with the other concentrations, the minimum number of credit hours for
the NESDC is 30 and the prerequisite course is 100, Peoples of the Middle
East. Honors is not normally awarded to the student in NESDC, although petitions
for exceptions can be made to the director of undergraduate studies.
