South Asia Studies is an interdisciplinary field that deals with the past and contemporary life of one-fifth of the world’s population.
The PhD and MA Graduate program gives students a broad understanding of the study of South Asia, deep knowledge of particular fields of interest, and training in South Asian languages as the basis for original research to prepare for academia or other professional careers.
