Classical and Near Eastern Studies

The mission of the Department of Classical and Near Eastern Studies is to produce and disseminate knowledge about the civilizations of the ancient Mediterranean and Near East from the Neolithic period through late antiquity. The Department faculty conducts research and teaches courses in the languages and literatures of Greece, Rome, and the Near East (including Modern Hebrew); and the archaeology, art, history, and religious traditions of these civilizations, including the development of early Judaism and Christianity. The Department offers majors in Greek, Hebrew, Latin, Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology, and Ancient Mediterranean Studies. CNES is also the administrative home of the programs in Religious Studies and Classical Civilization. 

The CNES faculty includes a number of scholars who have won awards for both teaching and research.
