Hinduism
Hinduism is a broad term used to identify the followers of religions sourced to the Vedic traditions originating from ‘Bhārat (India)’ and evolving from a referential historic period of 3000 BCE up to the current period. This program is focused to strengthen the understanding of Hinduism from the perspective of source works, universal values of relevance and historical perspective. The three program core courses are designed to address this need. The electives and thesis are offered for advancing subject knowledge in any specific or supplemental aspect of the program.
