The Minor in Global Asian Studies requires students to gain a broad interdisciplinary understanding of Asia and the global Asian diaspora. The minor requires one core course and four electives. The core course East Asian Studies (ASNS 1150) provides students with an understanding of the interlinkages in the historical, social, and political development of the region. Students can then choose four elective courses related to Asian languages and the histories, societies, politics, economies, and cultures of Asia and the global Asian diaspora.
Complete the core course, then four additional electives. Electives not included on the list can be substituted upon consultation with advisor. Please note that no more than two out of the four electives may be language courses.
