This year's Summer Program offers two new courses:

• Beginning Classical Tibetan provides a thorough grounding in the basics of Classical Tibetan and a strong foundation for reading various types of Buddhist literature in Tibetan.

• Intermediate Nepali is for students with prior study of Nepali. The course continues to focus on grammar while emphasizing the development of a rich and active vocabulary. The course features classroom lectures, drill sessions, and daily individual practice sessions with native Nepali speakers.

Summer Program applications are accepted from October 1st to May 1st.
