ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Department of Asian Studies and the UBC Himalaya Program are now offering summer courses in Nepali (NEPL 390) and Tibetan (TIBT 390) language online from May 11 - 22.  Please note both upper 300-level courses have no prerequisites. We are committed to offering a community-engaged experience and immersive language learning in the relevant cultural context, and are working hard with language instructors and community partners to ensure the online experience will be just as high quality as in-person instruction.
