The Mahabharata is more than a historical epic—it is a guide to life’s most profound challenges and choices. Hindu University of America’s Mahabharata Certificate program is designed to help students explore this classic work from literary, philosophical, and spiritual perspectives.

This 18-credit, graduate-level certificate includes four core courses that examine the Mahabharata’s narrative depth and two elective courses focused on historical and methodological approaches.
