The COUNCIL ON SOUTHEAST ASIA STUDIES at Yale University oversees a multifaceted interdisciplinary program located within the Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies. With member faculty in the major disciplines, and a comprehensive collection in the Yale University Library, the Council aims to facilitate training of graduate and undergraduate students, and to promote research, education and intellectual exchange on the cultures, politics and economies of Southeast Asia (primarily Burma/Myanmar, Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam), both historical and contemporary.

Yale established its Southeast Asia Studies Program in 1947 - the first area studies program in the United States to embark on the study of Southeast Asia in all disciplines. Southeast Asia Studies at Yale became an endowed program in 1961, and today helps to maintain one of the most extensive library collections in the country.
