Its Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations, but I focused primarily on Egyptian courses. Its a good approach because it forces you to study the Near East as whole instead of only one civilization so you gain a sense of historical context. The first two years are split between Egypt and Mesopotamia, but after that you can specialize. Department website here. I also took a major in History (by far more difficult than Egyptology simply because of its lack of continuity between subjects, you're constantly rebooting your knowledge base) and, although not officially, a minor in Classics. Looking at this year's schedule on the website, I'm glad I did it when I did because it looks like a lot of the Egyptian courses are being cut back. Egyptian Religion, Egyptian Literature, etc, aren't listed but were provided when I was doing my undergrad. Although, some are only offered every second year so they may be offered next year, but it looks pretty thin with regard to Egypt.
