The interdisciplinary minor consists of a minimum of six
courses (totaling at least 18 credits) from the following list of approved
courses. One of these courses must be a South Asian history survey course or
equivalent. Not more than three of the six courses can come from any one
discipline. Cross-listed courses can be counted only once, but may be considered
as being in either of the departments in which they are listed. Courses taken as part of university-approved study abroad programs in South Asia may be included in the six, subject to the approval of a faculty adviser. Consult the program for a list of
courses.
