As one of the few liberal arts colleges in the United States offering a South Asian Studies minor, The College of Wooster offers students a unique opportunity to delve into the historical and cultural traditions of South Asia. Courses and materials focus primarily on, but are not necessarily limited to, the nations and people of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan. The interdisciplinary nature of Wooster’s curriculum allows students to add the South Asian Studies minor to any major course of study and still graduate in four years. Off-campus study is both encouraged and supported by longstanding study-abroad programs in India and Nepal. While students can fulfill the SAST minor and thus gain a solid foundation in South Asian Studies without studying abroad, the program is ideally suited to those who desire to spend a semester learning in another country.
