Course Of Study
In general, students follow the plan of study of their home department; for example, students in Woodrow Wilson School earning a PNES certificate select the Near East in the modern world as a field of concentration. Specific requirements of the Program are as follows:
Language: Students who have had no relevant language training will take at least two years of Arabic, Hebrew, Hindu, Urdu, Persian, Turkish or Swahili language as elective courses.
Students are encouraged to begin the study of a Near Eastern language as early as possible in order to enable them to continue it beyond the required minimum and, if desired, to offer it to meet the language requirement for the A.B. degree. The program also encourages qualified students to enroll in summer sessions in Near Eastern languages
History: All students will take, as departmental courses, at least one appropriate history course in the Department of Near Eastern Studies. Students in the Department of History will take at least two such courses.
Social Sciences: All students will take at least two courses treating the islamicate world that are chosen from the offerings of the Departments of Anthropology, Near Eastern Studies, Politics, Religion, and Sociology, and the Woodrow Wilson School.

The senior thesis is written on an islamicate subject under the supervision of an islamicate specialist in the appropriate department and the Program.
Students take the regular senior departmental examination given by their department, except that a portion of it deals with the islamicate fields studied. These examinations are described in the sections of this catalog for each department.
