MASTERS ADMISSION FORM 

The Masters in Tibetan History, Masters in Tibetan Linguistic and Masters in Tibetan literature are graduate-level programs offered to interested students who have passed the Thorim Rigney Rabjampa degree certificate or its equivalent from a reputed recognized institution.

MA Students Studying

The objective of the graduate programs in Tibetan history and literature is to produce Tibetan intellectuals and scholars in the field of history, culture and literature. Over the past twenty years a number of young Tibetans have graduated through this college but only a handful of Tibetans have mastered Tibetan history and literature. These programs aim to fill the vacuum by producing credentialed Tibetan youths as per the guidance and concern expressed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Sikyong Dr. Lobsang Sangay. The Masters program offered by the College for Higher Tibetan Studies (CHTS) is recognized by the Department of Education of the Central Tibetan Administration and passed by the Academic Council of the College.
