Program Description

Asian Studies is a multidisciplinary program that consists of courses uniquely within Asian Studies as well as courses cross-listed between Asian Studies and various departments. An Asian Studies minor may be constructed in consultation with the Asian Studies chairperson and must consist of at least six courses, only four of which may be in Japanese language.
