Apply now for GETSEA’s Spring 2022 Mini-Courses!

GETSEA is offering two free and virtual mini-courses this spring on topics in Southeast Asian studies, open to graduate students from a wide range of backgrounds. Current graduates students at a GETSEA member institution receive first priority in admission to the courses, though graduate students at any institution who research in and around Southeast Asia may apply for admission to take a mini-course.

These courses do not offer course credit for students at their home institutions. However, students are encouraged to work with a faculty member at their home institution to count the course towards an independent/directed study/reading credit. Mini-courses have a workload roughly equivalent to that of a one-credit course – approximately 45 hours in total, including class time, readings, and other work. 

Details about previous mini-courses are available on GETSEA website, and any questions or proposals can be submitted to us at getsea@cornell.edu.
