Overview
The curriculum is rigorous but flexible, preparing students for professional employment in business, education or government, or for the pursuit of doctoral work involving NELC languages in the study of the dynamically changing societies of the Near East.
Students may specialize in one NELC language or in two coherently combined NELC languages, in consultation with the faculty advisor.
Make Discoveries Bridging Fields
The Near Eastern Languages and Cultures program from The Ohio State University is distinguished among its peers by its versatile, genuinely interdisciplinary curriculum and the breadth of its language offerings.
Our MA and PhD program curricula are designed to foster innovative projects in the study of the Near East that arise when materials from different established specialties are put together in productive ways. New avenues of research are discovered through training in more than one area or set of methods that may not have been brought together before. This prepares students to answer questions in Near Eastern studies that fall between traditionally configured sub-fields.
Our students are not restricted to one area or track. This is by design. Here you will benefit from the combinatory possibilities made available by the shared expertise of our fourteen professors in widely-ranging fields. Together our research materials range from ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform inscriptions to modern Near Eastern novels, our geographic range runs from the Maghrib to Central Asia and India, and our methods in themselves represent a history of modern scholarship in the humanities and beyond, from philology, historical linguistics and manuscript studies to folklore, critical theory, and anthropology.
