Summer Language Intensive
From June 25 - August 17, we will offer our seventh annual summer language
intensives in classical Tibetan and classical Sanskrit. These 8-week programs
are intended to prepare students to enter an intermediate level (2nd
year graduate-level) course in the language of their choice. They meet four
days a week and require a full-time commitment. Classes are small, with ample
opportunity for personalized instruction.
Post-Baccalaureate
Program in Buddhist Languages and Translation Studies
The year-long Postbaccalaureate Program is designed for students who are
planning to go on to graduate school in Buddhist studies or related fields. It
emphasizes language study. A student who completes the program will have the
equivalent of two years of graduate-level study in either classical Sanskrit or
classical Tibetan. The program also will also offer training in Buddhist
Studies and Translation Methods and a Postbaccalaureate Seminar, helping to
prepare students for a successful academic career.
The program starts with the Summer Language Intensive, followed by a two
semester program that runs from late August through early May.
The syllabus for the Post-Baccalaureate Program was designed by Luis Gómez, who
was MRC’s Academic Director until his passing last year, in consultation with our
Board of Advisors.
The deadline for applications is May 4, 2018. Partial tuition waivers may be
available.
