The undergraduate Asian Studies Program encourages a double
major in Asian Studies in some other field, but does not
require it. Some suggestions would be Chinese, Japanese,
History, Political Science, Economics, Finance, or
Management, although any second major would be acceptable. A
bulletin on the program and a list of classes (the
University’s regular Class Schedule does not contain
cross-listings for Asian studies) is available online. A
minor does not require language proficiency. Contact the
program director for further information on the Asian
Studies Program and how to enroll as a major or minor.
The general Asian studies degree guidelines are as
follows:
1. Second year proficiency in an Asian language (Chinese,
Japanese, Korean, Hindi/Urdu or instructor’s consent).
2. Three core courses. Asian Civilization: Traditions (HIST/UGS
1210), Asian Civilizations: Modern History and Societies (HIST/UGS
1220), and Current Research in Asian Studies (ASTP/SBS 5001)
3. Seven 3-credit Asian Studies upper division electives.
Five of the seven must be in a core geographic area. Five of
the seven must be in a core discipline. Courses are
available from Anthropology, Architecture, Art History,
Comparative Literature, Economics, Finance, Geography,
History, Languages and Literature, Linguistics, Management,
Philosophy, Political Science, Sociology, and Theatre.
4. A senior seminar course. This is a 4000-level course or
above in which the student writes a substantial research
paper or project. Course approval from the director is
required.
