Asian and Comparative Studies Program

PhD in Philosophy and Religion, Concentration in Asian and Comparative Studies


Master of Arts in Philosophy and Religion, Concentration in Asian and Comparative Studies


The Asian and Comparative Studies programs attract students from diverse backgrounds who pursue a curriculum that engages classical subjects as well as fresh perspectives on spiritual philosophies and traditions.  

Through advanced study of major Eastern religious and philosophical traditions, students encounter world traditions and cultivate an integrative understanding of
  • the personal and the social,
  • the intellectual and the spiritual,
  • the historical, and
  • the contemporary.
The CIIS commitment to integral education, therefore, challenges students to deepen their own perspectives on the self and the world through inquiry, research, reflection, and experiential learning.
