BA and MA Ancient Near Eastern and Egyptian Studies

New York University s graduate program in Ancient Near Eastern and Egyptian Studies (ANEES), inaugurated in 2005, offers its students the opportunity for advanced study in the languages, literatures, history, religions, archaeology, and art of the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt. It draws on NYU s substantial resources in these areas and its faculty members in several different departments and institutes, including the Institute of Fine Arts, the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, and the Departments of Anthropology, Art History, Hebrew and Judaic Studies, and Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies. Interdisciplinary study is strongly encouraged. Students in the program work with the director of graduate studies and with a faculty adviser in their field to construct a coherent program of academic study that is individually tailored to prepare them for careers in research, teaching, and museum work. During graduate school year, Bachelor's-Master's students receive a scholarship from GSAS covering 50% of tuition and registration fees.
