Semester Courses

NOTE: The following courses cover South Asia to varying degrees, from 25% to 100%. For Center MA students, if you want a course to count toward the degree course requirement, remember that at least one-third of your effort (e.g., papers, readings) must be related to South Asia. Therefore, verify with the instructor beforehand that you will be able to meet the requirement for courses you elect with less than 100% area content.

If you wish to take a course not listed here in which you feel you can complete 30% or more of the course work as South Asia related material, please fill out a Special Request for MA Degree Credit form.
