Inner Asian and Altaic Studies
|
|
|
Inner Asian and Altaic Studies deal with the history and cultures of the peoples in the steppe, mountain, forest, and oasis areas between China, Russia, western Iran, and Pakistan. This geographic area comprises Central Asia (namely former Soviet Central Asia, Xinjiang, eastern Iran, and Afghanistan), Kazakhstan, the northern regions of Pakistan, Tibet (including Qinghai and eastern Sichuan, Gansu, and northwestern Yunnan), Mongolia, and Manchuria. The Altaic languages include the Turkic group, the Mongolian group, and the Tungusic group.
The Committee on Inner Asian and Altaic Studies was established in the fall of 1972 for the purpose of stimulating and integrating instruction and research in these areas.
The Ph.D. program in Inner Asian and Altaic Studies is modeled on similar joint degree programs for adjacent areas, in particular the Ph.D. programs in History and East Asian Languages and in History and Middle Eastern Studies. Like these, the Ph.D. program in Inner Asian and Altaic Studies is not training in area studies as such but rather a program in an established discipline (for example, anthropology, art and architecture, history, linguistics, literature, or religious studies) in the context of Inner Asia and/or the Altaic languages. The program includes a language requirement and a general examination in three fields, and is restricted to candidates for the Ph.D. degree. It does not offer an AM degree.
