Welcome to the South Asia Institute...
The South Asia Institute at the University of Texas at Austin promotes the inter-disciplinary study of all aspects of modern and ancient South Asia. In addition the Institute promotes the study of communities of South Asian origin wherever they may be found. Through its support of individual and group research, specialized courses and training, library acquisitions, international conferences, community outreach, and weekly seminars, the Institute advances the latest knowledge about South Asia and extends awareness of this vital world region across all departments and programs on the UT campus.
The College of Liberal Arts currently awards seven degrees in South Asian studies: B.A. and M.A. in Asian Studies; B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. in Asian Cultures and Languages; and two dual M.A. degrees with the McCombs School of Business and the LBJ School of Public Affairs.
