University of Calgary Calendar 2010-2011 Faculty of Arts 4. Program Details 4.10 Asian Studies 4.10.3 Minor/Concentration in South Asian Studies
4.10.3 Minor/Concentration in South Asian Studies

The Concentration in South Asian Studies 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 in South Asian Studies 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.

Requirements for the Minor

The Minor in South Asian Studies is regulated by the section of the Faculty of Arts Graduation Requirements entitled 3.4.4 Minor Fields. Students must successfully complete at least 5.0 and not more than 6.0 full-course equivalents with at least 3.0 full-course equivalents at the 300-level or above:

1. South Asian Societies 500.

2. At least 4.0 and not more than 5.0 full-course equivalents from: Art History 323; History 403, 501; Religious Studies 203, 211, 213, 303, 313, 323, 327, 353, 391, 451, 453; and South Asian Studies 315, 415.

Note: Other courses may be approved by the Program Director when the student can provide evidence of substantial South Asian content. Courses that potentially meet this depending on the emphasis given in a particular year include: Archaeology 325; English 490; History 205, 301, 307, 488; Political Science 359; Religious Studies 491. Courses taken on a term abroad program may also be approved. Both individual-study and field-school programs in South Asia are potentially eligible.

Requirements for the Concentration

The Concentration requires the successful completion of 3.0 full-course equivalents from the Minor in South Asian Studies, which is described above.
