Graduate

Persian is a useful research language for graduate students, in the humanities or the social sciences, whose work relates to the peoples and cultures of the Middle East, South Asia, or Central Asia. Graduate students can take Persian language classes for a grade, or as official auditors, by registering for the 5000-level course cross-listings. Prospective students interested in pursuing graduate studies in Persian at the University of Pennsylvania are encouraged to apply to the Graduate Program in Middle Eastern Literatures and Societies in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations.
