Overview

The Ph.D. Semitic and Egyptian Languages and Literatures program at Catholic University of America incorporates the M.A. curriculum and requires an additional thirty semester hours of coursework (i.e., 60 total hours). It is possible, however, to enter the program at the doctoral level.

Features

Students who enter at the Ph.D. level must meet the full 60-hour credit requirement by coursework or transfer credit.

The transfer of up to 24 credit hours earned at other accredited institutions is permitted in accordance with the university's regulations. ANWSL students usually specialize in Aramaic and Hebrew, while NECLL students specialize in Arabic, Coptic, Ethiopic or Syriac.

The ANWSL program offers Akkadian, Ugaritic, as well as extensive coursework in Aramaic (Old, Official, Qumran, Targumic) and Hebrew (Epigraphic, Qumran, Mishnaic). In the NECLL program, students may also take Armenian, Georgian, and South Arabian.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Ph.D. students are encouraged in addition to take two courses, ordinarily six credits, outside the department with the consultation of the adviser and the chair.

The courses should complement the student's interests and be adjusted to his or her background and training.

The requirement may be fulfilled by courses at the graduate or advanced undergraduate level.

The courses can be taken in a variety of departments and programs, including biblical studies, theology, early Christian studies, English, modern languages, comparative literature, history, economics and politics.
