The office makes efforts to encourage and support the development of organized programs with international counterparts. This includes faculty, staff and student development projects. Currently the Director’s main attention is on program development related to South Asia (India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and the Republic of Maldives). Main activity centers on the creation of a Secondary Major in South Asian Studies to compliment the secondary majors in Latin America, Africa and East Asia. This is supported by a US Department of Education Title VI Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language grant that supports faculty and curriculum development across seven KSU colleges.
