ASIAN STUDIES

 

Asian Studies Program

Asian Studies has become an increasingly important area of study in North American colleges and universities.

This is due in part to a growing acknowledgment that Asian cultures are of significance both regionally and globally. The Asian Studies Program offers students the opportunity to explore these cultures from a multidisciplinary perspective so that they are able to understand the social, cultural, political, and other forces that shape and have shaped these nations.

For more information about the Asian Studies major and minor, please contact:
