If the applicant isadmitted, then official transcripts of all college-level work will berequired. Official transcripts must be in sealed envelopes as issuedby the school(s) attended. If you have attended Berkeley, uploadyour unofficial transcript with your application for the departmentalinitial review. If you are admitted, an official transcript with evidenceof degree conferral will not be required.2. Letters of recommendation: Applicants may request online lettersof recommendation through the online application system. Hardcopies of recommendation letters must be sent directly to theprogram, not the Graduate Division.3. Evidence of English language proficiency: All applicants who havecompleted a basic degree from a country or political entity in whichthe official language is not English are required to submit officialevidence of English language proficiency. This applies to institutionsfrom Bangladesh, Burma, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Latin America,the Middle East, the People’s Republic of China, Taiwan, Japan,Korea, Southeast Asia, most European countries, and Quebec(Canada).

Thefollowing courses will not fulfill this requirement:Applicants Who Already Hold a Graduate DegreeThe Graduate Council views academic degrees not as vocational trainingcertificates, but as evidence of broad training in research methods,independent study, and articulation of learning. Therefore, applicants whoalready have academic graduate degrees should be able to pursue newsubject matter at an advanced level without the need to enroll in a relatedor similar graduate program.Programs may consider students for an additional academic master’s orprofessional master’s degree only if the additional degree is in a distinctlydifferent field.Applicants admitted to a doctoral program that requires a master’s degreeto be earned at Berkeley as a prerequisite (even though the applicantalready has a master’s degree from another institution in the same ora closely allied field of study) will be permitted to undertake the secondmaster’s degree, despite the overlap in field.The Graduate Division will admit students for a second doctoral degreeonly if they meet the following guidelines:1. Applicants with doctoral degrees may be admitted for an additionaldoctoral degree only if that degree program is in a general area ofknowledge distinctly different from the field in which they earned theiroriginal degree. For example, a physics PhD could be admitted to adoctoral degree program in music or history; however, a student witha doctoral degree in mathematics would not be permitted to add aPhD in statistics. courses in English as a Second Language, courses conducted in a language other than English, courses that will be completed after the application is submitted,and courses of a non-academic nature.If applicants have previously been denied admission to Berkeley on thebasis of their English language proficiency, they must submit new testscores that meet the current minimum from one of the standardized tests.Official TOEFL score reports must be sent directly from EducationalTest Services (ETS). The institution code for Berkeley is 4833.

Studentsearning the MA in this department need to pass a Permission to Proceedexamination after completing the other MA requirements.*The requirements below are in addition to those fulfilled while earningthe MA degree.committee on ways of gaining this experience, which may includeparticipation in excavations, study in approved museums, or otheractivities related to fieldwork and approved by the examinationcommittee.Foreign Language(s)All PhD students must have passed reading examinations in two modernEuropean languages before proceeding to the preliminary examinations.The modern language proficiency examinations will follow the formprescribed under the MA requirements (see the Master's DegreeRequirements tab). Students who have passed through an MA programof this department will already have satisfied the requirement in at leastone language. Credit is not given for language examinations taken atother schools.(For students entering the program with an MA in a related field, anydeviations from UC Berkeley's MA degree stipulations are treated on acase-by-case basis and must have official approval.)Prior to AdvancementCurriculumWhile there are few specific required courses for the PhD program, it isexpected that a student will include seminar work in at least two divisionsof the department. Upon the advice of appropriate faculty, students selectcourses that will prepare them to meet the requirements for admission tocandidacy. The two required courses for every graduate student in thePhD program in Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures are:MELC 291 ; andMELC 200 (if not already satisfied as part of the MA degreerequirements in the Department).Language Concentrations and Islamic Studies concentrationCourse electives that include the following:At least 12 units of coursework during each semester at the 100or 200-level, with lower-division language courses as appropriate.MELC 200Graduate Proseminar1MELC 291Dissertation Writing Workshop4Near Eastern Art & Archaeology ConcentrationPreliminary ExamsThe department requires that its doctoral students pass comprehensivewritten preliminary examinations before proceeding to the comprehensiveoral qualifying examination (QE). Students are eligible to take thewritten examinations after completing all prior requirements for the PhD.Students must complete one written preliminary examination for eachsubject area specified in the application sent to the Graduate Divisionto be covered during the comprehensive qualifying examinations. Threecomprehensive written examinations are required, therefore, to coverthe student's major subject area and two minor areas. The preliminaryexaminations may be of any written form determined by the examiners,but it is suggested that they should consist of a choice of not more thanthree from a wide range of essay questions. Students should consultwith their committee members well in advance concerning the formthat each examination will take. For all students in the departmentspecializing in a language concentration (Cuneiform Studies, Hebrew,Arabic or Persian Language and Literature), the comprehensive writtenpreliminary examinations will include examinations in at least two Middleor Near (ancient) Eastern languages. Egyptology students should pass aseparate ancient Egyptian language exam in two parts prior to sitting fortheir comprehensive PhD examinations.Course electives that include the following:Qualifying ExaminationAt least 12 units of coursework during each semester at the 100or 200-level, with lower-division language courses as appropriate.At least 2 years of course work in a single ancient language duringgraduate career, or pass proficiency examMELC 200Graduate Proseminar1MELC 291Dissertation Writing Workshop4Egyptology ConcentrationCourse electives that include the following:ProspectusAt least 12 units of coursework during each semester at the 100or 200-level, with lower-division language courses as appropriate.2 semesters of ancient Egyptian language beyond secondyear level during graduate career, and pass proficiency exam inEgyptian and/or CopticMELC 200Graduate Proseminar1MELC 291Dissertation Writing Workshop4Fieldwork for students in Egyptology and NearEastern Art and ArchaeologyEach student specializing in Egyptology or Near Eastern Art andArchaeology must acquire practical experience in archaeology ormuseum studies. The student should confer with his or her examinationThe qualifying examination is designed to reveal the breadth anddepth of the student's knowledge, as well as his or her sophisticationof reasoning. It is therefore not to be concerned narrowly, nor to beconcerned solely with a dissertation prospectus. Based on the student'sperformance, the faculty will determine whether the candidate is readyto enter the research phase of PhD study. Students are eligible to takethe comprehensive oral qualifying examination after passing the writtenpreliminary examinations.Before applying to the Graduate Division for advancement to candidacyto the PhD, the student must first obtain approval of a dissertationprospectus on an appropriate topic from his/her proposed dissertationcommittee. The prospectus should include a detailed outline, a shortessay-type description of the dissertation, and a bibliography. A proposedtimeline to completion and methodology statement are frequent additionsto the prospectus.Time in CandidacyAdvancement to CandidacyAfter the student passes the oral qualifying examination, the student mustapply for advancement to candidacy. Before submitting this application,

It is the student's responsibility to be in touch withall members of the committee and to arrange for each member to haveenough time to review each stage of the dissertation.Dissertation Colloquium for PhD Candidates inAncient Egyptian and Near Eastern ProgramsThe students must pass the modern European language proficiencyexamination or receive approval of the graduate advisor and dean fora waiver of the examination before applying for candidacy for the MAdegree. In this department, the language required is normally French orGerman. Another modern language may be substituted for one of these ifit is clearly necessary to the student's field of study. Any such substitutionmust be approved by the graduate advisor and the student's advisorycommittee.Preliminary or Field ExamsAll PhD students in the ancient Egyptian (Egyptology) and Near Eastern(Near Eastern Art and Archaeology) subplans are strongly encouragedto give an oral presentation of approximately 45 minutes on theirdissertation. The candidate should consult with his or her dissertationadvisers to determine the scope of the presentation. The colloquiumshould be scheduled during the advanced stages of the dissertationand must be attended by the candidate’s dissertation inside committeemembers. It is expected that all graduate students and faculty in ancientEgyptian and Near Eastern programs will attend dissertation colloquia.The student must successfully complete written examinations coveringone major and two minor fields. Two research papers, one of whichmust demonstrate bibliographic mastery of a given topic, must be placedon file in the departmental office at least four weeks prior to the MAexaminations. These papers may be written in the context of courseworktaken for the MA or may be written independently of coursework, underthe supervision of a faculty member. Any paper submitted as an MApaper must be approved by the faculty member for whom it was written,as well as by the MA committee.Required Professional DevelopmentTeaching/PedagogyTeachingEvery year, the department appoints graduate students as GraduateStudent Instructors (GSIs) to teach discussion sections of lecturecourses and sections of language courses. As part of the PhD programrequirements in Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures, each graduatestudent should act as a GSI for a minimum of one course during theirgraduate career. In exceptional cases, this requirement may be waivedwith the approval of a student's faculty advisory committee.CurriculumIn addition to the courses required for specific concentrations in the MAin Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures (listed below), all enteringgraduate students must take the following course:The department appoints graduate students as Graduate StudentInstructors (GSIs) to teach discussion sections of lecture courses andsections of language courses.Advancement to CandidacyStudents must be unofficially advanced to candidacy by their committeeprior to taking their comprehensive MA examinations.
