About the Asian Studies Program

The strength of our faculty, both in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences and in other colleges on campus, is to provide resources and training in Asian languages, cultures, history, politics, and economics. In addition to offering a major and minor in Asian Studies, the program supports research initatives, study abroad, and extra-curricular activities of faculty, students, and the local community. The program strives to provide students with a well-rounded education essential for careers in which knowledge of Asia is vital, promote interdisciplinary research on the Pacific region, and serve as a source of knowledge and expertise for the community.
