Here are short summaries of our programs:
 
The Certificate Program in Hindu Studies (CPHS) equips students with the knowledge and confidence to engage with the world as Hindus. Upon completion of the program, students will gain a deep understanding of Hindu thought, its cosmology, and the ability to dispel misconceptions and false narratives. This transformative experience will inspire students to live a fulfilled life as Hindus and make a positive impact on the world.
 
The Certificate Program in Hindu Civilizational Studies (CHCS) provides a comprehensive exploration of Hindu Civilization from a Hindu perspective. It offers a solid understanding of Hindu Dharma, one of the world's oldest and thriving cultures, with enduring wisdom and knowledge. Studying Hindu Civilization is valuable for everyone, as it is based on the timeless principles of Dharma.
 
Acquiring proficiency in Saṃskṛtam is an incredibly fulfilling experience and unlocks the vibrant tapestry of the living Hindu civilization, enhancing our understanding of one of the oldest languages and establishing a deep connection to the ancient texts of Hinduism.
 
The Master of Arts in Sanskrit (MAS) program immerses students in the study of the Sanskrit language, enabling them to become genuine scholars who can engage with the various knowledge-systems rooted in Hindu thought. Emphasising the importance of Sanskrit for studying the source texts of the Vedas, Vedānta, Yoga, Āyurveda, and Śāstras, the program provides direct access to these texts without relying on translations. It also prepares students to explore ancient and classical texts, fostering a commitment to the wellbeing and future of humanity.
 
The Sanskrit Proficiency Certificate Program (CPSP) is designed for beginners aged 14 and above who are passionate about learning Sanskrit and exploring Hindu texts. No prior knowledge of Sanskrit is required, and the program focuses on developing skills in listening, comprehension, writing, fluent speaking, and grammar, with the option for recitation and singing.
 
The Micro Certificate in Spoken Samskritam Program (MCSS) is designed for students passionate about learning and speaking Saṃskṛtam. It offers a unique opportunity for language enthusiasts of all ages, including high school students, to immerse themselves in a relaxed learning environment. By applying their language skills in everyday life, students can embark on an exciting language-learning journey. This program caters to all ages and anyone interested in expanding their linguistic horizons.
