Since its establishment in 1927 as the Department of Oriental Languages and Literatures, the Department of Near Eastern Studies (NES) has pioneered Middle Eastern scholarship. While historically focused on medieval and pre-modern research covering Arab regions, Iran, Israel, and Turkey, the department has increasingly emphasized contemporary Islamic societies across broader regions, incorporating the Caucasus, Central Asia, and South Asia. This expansion acknowledges the interconnected nature of Muslim cultures, allowing NES to provide students with interdisciplinary programs that transcend conventional geographical boundaries. For those aiming for academic or professional careers through graduate education, NES provides a Ph.D. program featuring adaptable study plans and diverse dissertation options.
