The minimum requirements for the completion of a minor program are four 4-point courses (16 points) chosen in consultation with the South Asian Studies faculty adviser. Students can pursue three broad areas of concentration:
Track A: Language provides students with a solid foundation in a modern Indian language. Students must complete a four-semester sequence of either Hindi or Urdu, provided that these courses are not also used to satisfy the CAS foreign-language requirement.
Track B: History, Culture, and Politics fosters a broad interdisciplinary perspective on South Asia. All four courses must be non-language courses.
Track C: Culture and Language combines Tracks A and B. Students must take two language courses at the intermediate level (provided that these courses are not also used to satisfy the CAS foreign-language requirement) or at the advanced level and two non-language South Asian courses. A MAP "World Cultures" course on South Asia—in particular, "World Cultures: India"—may be counted toward the non-language minor requirement. With prior approval, one independent study course can count toward the four courses required for a minor. At least three of the four courses must be completed at NYU. The South Asian Studies faculty adviser will determine the eligibility of courses taken in study abroad programs or in institutions not part of the consortial exchange.
