The MA in South Asian Area Studies offers outstanding opportunities for in-depth exploration of one of the globe's most culturally rich and significant regions.
Participants may specialize in either historical or contemporary South Asian studies, with options to learn a regional language from scratch or enhance existing linguistic skills.
This comprehensive program delivers interdisciplinary perspectives on nations including India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, with some attention given to Bangladesh and Bhutan. Available fields span Politics, Economics, Anthropology, Law, Literature, Film Studies, Cultural Studies, Religious Studies, and Historical Research.
The MA program draws a diverse student body. Some seek to expand their prior academic or professional engagement with South Asia, while others join without previous regional specialization but with enthusiasm to apply their academic background to this dynamic area.
