I’m interested in colleges that have a good program anything southeast Asian studies related in the US. In specific, the country I want to study about is Burma/Myanmar. I have done some part of my research and it seems Cornell is stronger in that area than Harvard in that area but I’m not sure. Is there anyone who knows?
That is a very specific field for undergrad. What is your backup plan if you don’t get into Cornell or Harvard?
From a quick google:
https://college.harvard.edu/academics/fields-study/concentrations
Perhaps to add to your list, Wesleyan has a certificate in South Asian Studies. http://www.wesleyan.edu/southasiastudies/index.html
A quick search on the [LCTL database](The Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA): Less Commonly Taught Languages) indicates that only Cornell, U Oregon, U Hawaii, UCSD, and Northern Illinois offer Burmese. The last has a [Center for Burma Studies](Center for Burma Studies | Northern Illinois University) and might make a very nice safety with merit scholarships factored in. LCTL is not entirely accurate and up-to-date, however, so there may be a few other options. It seems that Harvard [offers it at least occasionally](Burmese | Department of South Asian Studies).
If you’re interested in working in Southeast Asia, check out the [Critical Language Scholarship](http://www.clscholarship.org/). There are no options in Myanmar, but [url=<a href=“http://www.clscholarship.org/languages/indonesian%5DIndonesian%5B/url”>http://www.clscholarship.org/languages/indonesian]Indonesian[/url] is offered. The deadline is in two days.
