The Near Eastern Institute is responsible for managing the “big three” certifications for Near Eastern studies:

  1. Certified Assyriologist
  2. Certified Biblical Archaeologist
  3. Certified Egyptologist

Each certification is supported by a self-paced course that includes reading, online assignments, interactions with other students and a final paper. The courses are divided into 12 weekly assignments; however, you are encouraged to work at your own pace which allows you the most flexibility in completing your certification whether it be over the course of just 12 weeks or up to a year if desired-the choice is yours.

Learn about Egyptology, Assyriology, and Biblical Archaeology. It’s easy to get certified so go ahead, get certified and prove your knowledge!
