The Asian Studies Program (ASP) offers students an interdisciplinary approach to the study of Asia, ancient and modern, at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. This is accomplished by offering courses of its own as well as by drawing from the wide array of Asia related courses and other resources available campus-wide, allowing each student to design a program of study suited to his or her interests.
The ASP offers an MA, certificate, major, and minor in Asian Studies focused on any of its core areas: Southeast Asia, South Asia, China, Japan, and Korea, most of whose national languages are taught at the University as well.
The ASP is also closely linked in terms of faculty, courses, fellowships, staff, and daily operations to all of the School's (SPAS) Centers, two of which are recognized as National Resource Centers: Southeast Asia and East Asia, which offer FLAS (Foreign Language and Area Studies) fellowships annually.
Students may elect approved courses from at least the following disciplines: American Studies, anthropology, production & management, art, business, economics, geography, philosophy, history, linguistics, literature, political science, music, religion, sociology, theater and dance, women's studies and others. Other departments in the University, including Indo-Pacific Languages, East Asian Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics, additionally provide a wide repertoire for students to construct their own program with the assistance of advisers and faculty.
