Indic Studies Minor

The Indic Studies Minor is designed for students who are interested in learning languages, civilization, science, art, culture, traditions, and philosophy-as originated and practiced in the Indian Sub-Continent-and many other contemporary subjects from Gandhi to Indian democracy. This program encompasses and seeks to integrate knowledge from a wide range of subject areas and uses a multi-disciplinary approach. Students will learn in a multi-faceted way, in classroom, seminar, and experiential settings.

The goals of the Indic Studies Minor are:

• to disseminate understanding of issues relating to Indian arts, philosophy, culture, societal values, customs and tradition.
  
• to promote international harmony through the mix of ancient and modern values; promote awareness among Americans and world at large on contemporary India and its demographic diversity in the 21st century.
  

The academic minor is enhanced by the existence of the Center for Indic Studies. It shares, in general, the goals of the Center: to highlight India's time-tested eternal values for world's progress, peace, and harmony; and to cultivate the relevance of ancient Indic human values through scholarly understanding and academic pursuit.
