Asian Studies

Immerse yourself in a community of globally-minded scholars as you explore the vibrant and dynamic cultures of Asia. Through coursework in language, history, literature, politics, religion and more, you’ll work toward better understanding how nearly 60% of the population lives and views the world. Further broaden your perspective through study abroad and in-depth research while preparing to flourish in further graduate work or a professional career in international education, business and more.
