Steve,
Check out UPenn's Ancient Near Eastern Studies programs at:
I also suppose that some of the most prestigious programs which offer
these semitic languages frequently would be in universites which are
located in the Near East. I know that Gleason Archer taught at one of those
NE schools for a time, but I can't remember what it was called.
Take care.
