Roshan Institute for Persian Studies at the University of Maryland aspires to be the premier center for the learning, understanding and appreciation of Persian culture in the United States. Toward this end, Roshan Institute seeks to provide outstanding course offering and program in Persian language, literature, history and culture; to foster communication and community ties among people of Persian heritage and those interested in Persian studies; and to serve as a model for encouraging intercultural communication among peoples of varying backgrounds.
