Undergraduate Opportunities

There is currently no undergraduate degree in Buddhist Studies. However, the Group in Religious Studies offers an emphasis in Buddhism, and the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures offers a minor in Buddhism. Undergraduate courses with a Buddhism emphasis can also be found in the Departments of History of Art and South and Southeast Asian Studies.

Undergraduates interested in going on to graduate school are encouraged to begin preparations early in their undergraduate career. The College of Letters & Science has developed a STEP by Step: A Guide for Preparing for Graduate School to help you plan.
