Asian Studies Minor

The Asian studies minor serves two groups of students. The first are global studies majors who desire to highlight their specialty in Asia. The second are non-global studies majors who have an interest in both Asian history and language. In contrast to the Asian studies concentration, students must demonstrate proficiency in an Asian language.
