"Ph.D. students in Buddhist Studies will learn to do independent, original research on a specialized topic of their own choice while becoming familiar with classical and canonical materials and emerging trends in current research. This Ph.D. track also equips students to teach effectively and creatively about Buddhism, cognate religions, and relevant methodological and theoretical concerns. At present, the department is best equipped to train students in Buddhist philosophy, cultural history, ritual studies, material culture, and textual studies; however, students may pursue work in other areas, such as anthropology, provided that they have sufficient prior training and/or support from other faculty members at IU. In their coursework, students are expected to develop a broad understanding of various Buddhist traditions, in addition to significant expertise in their chosen field of research."
