S. Asian Studies Proposal Form

Please Click Here for Form: Proposal Form

The International Studies Committee considers petitions from individual students who have specific plans to complete all the requirements for the international studies major, incorporating courses on South Asia as their area studies focus and developing a disciplinary specialization. Students may consider this alternative if they commit to the following language and study-abroad requirements: completing an intensive summer South Asian language course prior to studying abroad; completing one year of academic study through an approved study-abroad program; undertaking intensive language instruction while studying abroad; and incorporating language into their academic work upon their return to Middlebury, either through an independent study, a Senior thesis, or research in a seminar. Students whose petitions are accepted will be monitored by Middlebury faculty associated with South Asian studies, in consultation with the director of the international studies major. Students interested in South Asian studies should contact the South Asian studies director.
