Why Pursue Asian Studies?

Students who major in Asian Studies often complement their coursework with a year or more of residence in Asia. Many students double major to combine a profession with their area of expertise. Job possibilities are increasing in such fields as business, journalism, government, and education. Many students go on to do graduate studies.

Students in class

Major in Asian Studies

As a major, students will choose a regional focus, taking history, social sciences, and humanities courses within that regional focus. Students will also choose a thematic focus and take elective courses in Asian Studies related to that thematic focus.
