South Asian Studies

South Asian studies is offered as an Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA program and Honours Minor BA program that can be pursued jointly with another Honours BA program in the Faculty of Arts.

South Asian studies enables students interested in South Asia to pursue their interests through a series of course offerings drawn from a number of different disciplines. The main focus of the program are the countries that comprise the South Asian region. However, in light of the large South Asian diaspora in Canada, the program also considers issues related to diasporic life. The program aims to foster a deeper understanding of the South Asian region as an entirety, as well as those issues that concern the South Asian diaspora. In addition to an introductory core course and a 4000-level capstone course, students in the program are required to complete a specified number of credits in the following areas of concentration: history and state formations; and, gender, society and culture (including diasporic issues).
