Minor in Asian Studies

Department of History

---

Asian Studies is an interdisciplinary program administered by the Department of History, Philosophy, and Religious Studies. It is designed to facilitate an academic concentration in South, Southeast or East Asian civilization. Students who pursue a minor field in asian studies will be required to take ASN 3003 Introduction to asia (or its equivalent) and to identify a thematic sequence of courses totaling 12 additional credit hours. Students will determine this sequence in consultation with a faculty member in asian studies, choosing either to focus on a specific geographical area (e.g., East Asia or South Asia) or on a particular discipline (e.g., religion or literature).

The faculty in Asian studies includes professors of religion, literature, philosophy, history, sociology, political science, business and education. Together, they offer a broad range of courses conceived to provide students both with the opportunity to encounter Asia from the perspective of its inhabitants and to employ a comparative perspective on the Asian contribution to world civilization.

Students minoring in Asian Studies must have the approval of a member of the Asian Studies Faculty.
