近东研究文学学士学位

古老的近东是播种第一批农作物，建造第一批城市并发明第一批文字的地方。西方文化的起源可以在其伟大的文明中找到，从三种主要的一神教宗教（基督教，伊斯兰教和犹太教）到我们日常使用并视为理所当然的事物，例如字母和按小时和分钟标记时间。约翰霍普金斯大学近东研究系提供了有关古代近东文化和语言的广泛课程，包括埃及，以色列，叙利亚-巴勒斯坦，美索不达米亚和阿拉伯半岛。考古学也是学生的一种选择，该系在埃及，叙利亚，阿曼和埃塞俄比亚进行发掘。课程涵盖近东古代文明的考古，历史，宗教，艺术，语言和文学。
The ancient Near East is where the first crops were sown, the first cities were built, and the first writing was invented. The origins of Western culture are found in its great civilizations, from the three main monotheistic religions-Christianity, Islam, and Judaism-to things we use every day and take for granted, such as the alphabet and marking time by hours and minutes. The Johns Hopkins Department of Near Eastern Studies offers a wide range of courses on the cultures and languages of the ancient Near East, including Egypt, Israel, Syria-Palestine, Mesopotamia, and the Arabian peninsula. Archaeology is also an option for students, and the department carries out excavations in Egypt, Syria, Oman, and Ethiopia. Courses cover archaeology, history, religion, art, language, and literature of the ancient civilizations of the Near East.
