Introduction

The Minor and Concentration in South Asian Studies are offered collaboratively by the Faculty of Humanities and the Faculty of Social Sciences. The Concentration requires students to complete three full-course equivalents in the field and is intended to recognize those students who choose to emphasize this important world area within their major degree program. The Minor requires students to complete five full-course equivalents in the field, including an independent research project, and is intended for students who may be considering graduate studies with a specialization in the field or careers where more extensive knowledge of South Asia would be advantageous. Students should contact the Program Director as early as possible for advice on the program. The Program Director will be housed in alternate years between the Faculty of Humanities and the Faculty of Social Sciences.
