Notes:
Situated in the foothills of the Himalayas and home to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Dharamsala is the cultural and intellectual capital of the Tibetan exile community. The program integrates academic study, traditional Buddhist pedagogy, field research in the Tibetan community, and guided explorations of contemplative practice. This unique combination of theory, practice, and immersion provides an excellent opportunity to explore numerous cultural, political, historical, and religious dimensions of the Tibetan world.
The study abroad program in Dharamsala, India focuses on the study of Tibetan language, philosophy, culture, and civilization. In addition, individual research projects are an important component of the program. Students live in guest houses, and on the Sarah Campus with Tibetan roommates.
***Program runs only in the spring.
