The Department offers programs for both undergraduate
and graduate instruction and research in the languages, cultures
and civilizations of South and Southeast Asia from the most ancient
period to the present. Language instruction through the intermediate
level in Southeast Asian languages includes Khmer, Malay/Indonesian,
Tagalog, Thai, and Vietnamese. These language courses are offered
annually at Berkeley. Both the Indonesian, and Vietnamese languages
are regularly scheduled through the advanced level.
Also, there are classes in the areas of literature,
philosophy and religion, and general cross-disciplinary studies
of the civilizations of South and Southeast Asia. The Department
maintains a balance between ancient and modern studies, and between
linguistic and cultural disciplines. Programs of study thus can
be devised to fit the needs of students with a wide range of interests.
Opportunities exist for a limited number of students to participate
in language training programs in the field. The Department's various
programs are enriched by the resources of the Center for South Asia
Studies and the Center for Southeast Asian Studies.
