  • The field of Asian Religions at Cornell University offers the Ph.D. degree to students who wish to specialize in East Asian, South Asian, or Southeast Asian religious traditions.
  • The faculty for the Asian Religions field are drawn from members of the Asian Studies and Anthropology departments. The core members from Asian Studies cover a wide range of area specializations and disciplines in both South and East Asia. Additional support is provided by professors of Anthropology, who add expertise in the religions of South Asia, the Himalayan region, and China as well as their expertise in several anthropological sub-disciplines. The Asian Religions field also encourages intellectual collaborations between faculty, graduate students, and programs with overlapping interests that have not been hitherto explored.
