During the course of your education here, you’ll probably learn some classical Tibetan language whether you intend to or not! Our classical Tibetan professor, Bill Magee, makes the point that pursuing the study of Tibetan language is itself a spiritual practice. Some instructors will weave together Tibetan and English to skillfully convey the meaning of assigned texts. In addition, some guest instructors teach in Tibetan with English translation. Formal study of Tibetan, in courses offered by the college, is currently required for those in our MA program. Given the value of studying Tibetan, this opportunity is encouraged for our MDiv program students.
