Description:

The interdisciplinary major in Asian and Asian American Studies combines analytical perspectives and research methods of the social sciences and humanities in an integrated curriculum that is intellectually challenging, socially relevant, and directed toward advancing students' professional career goals. Students acquire in-depth knowledge of particular regions of Asia, enhanced appreciation of Asian cultures and societies, greater awareness of contemporary issues of global concern facing both Asia and America, and a better understanding of the histories, struggles, and contributions of Asian Americans.
