About

The Asian continent is home to the world’s largest and most diverse population, as well as to some of the world’s fastest growing economies. Students interested in becoming experts in any area of contemporary Asian societies can complete the minor in Asian Studies. Students can select courses from various disciplines including geography, environmental studies, language, history, political economy, business, art, religion, health, or other facets of one or more Asian societies. There is no specific language or study abroad requirement for the minor. However, students are strongly encouraged to integrate training in an Asian language and/or a study abroad experience into their degree plan.
