CNES is an interdisciplinary department that brings together faculty and graduate students who might in other settings be dispersed among programs in Classics, Art History, Archaeology, Philosophy, Biblical Studies, Jewish Studies, South Asian Studies, Ancient Near Eastern Studies, and Linguistics. The department is devoted to rigorous philological and literary training and to the conviction that the ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern world is best studied as a diverse but richly integrated cultural whole.
Make a gift to Classical and Near Eastern Studies online through the University of Minnesota Foundation.
