The Department of Middle Eastern and South Asian Languages and Cultures explores the profound historical connections among diverse cultures, religions, literatures, and languages spanning the Middle East (including Afghanistan, Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, Yemen, and the UAE), North Africa (covering Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, and Tunisia), and South Asia (encompassing India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka). With decades of interdisciplinary and cross-regional scholarship at our core, we consistently offer instruction in six major languages (currently Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Persian, Sanskrit, and Urdu—spoken by nearly one-third of humanity). Our distinguished faculty brings expertise across multiple disciplines: Language Instruction, Literary Analysis, Linguistics, Islamic Scholarship, Comparative Literature, Historical Studies, Media Research, Anthropology, Film Criticism, Philology, and Gender Studies. The department also boasts remarkable diversity among its professors, representing various national backgrounds (American, Indian, Israeli, Iranian, Jordanian, Lebanese, Palestinian, Syrian, Pakistani, and Yemeni).

Typically, the most important factor in the admission evaluation process is demonstrated academic achievement in a challenging secondary school program.
The admission committee looks for applicants who have completed the most rigorous academic courses available in their secondary schools and recommends that prospective students should exceed minimum high school graduation requirements. We require an official transcript. The secondary program should include no fewer than 16 academic courses and must include the following courses:
English 4 units
Mathematics 4 units
Foreign Language 2 units
Science (from among biology, chemistry, and physics) 2 units (*)
Social Studies 1 unit
A TOEFL or IELTS score should not be more than two years old. Depending on the school, most admitted graduate students attain a minimum total score of 90 on the internet-based (iBT) TOEFL (including sectional minimums of 22 in speaking, 22 in writing, 23 in reading and 23 in listening). The minimum paper-based TOEFL score requirement is usually 600, and the minimum IELTS score requirement is 7.0.
