Asian Studies
The Faculty Group in Asian Studies administers an interdisciplinary program leading to the B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees. Utilizing the faculty and facilities of the entire university, these degree programs cut across conventional disciplinary lines and emphasize a basic core of knowledge concerning one particular geographic area of Asia. Within this core, which requires course work in multiple departments and reading knowledge of at least one Asian language, regionally-oriented students have the freedom to plan an individual program according to their particular interests and approaches. No two programs are alike, and students work closely with the Student Affairs office and with a faculty mentor in designing their customized academic plan. The Group also offers concurrent degree programs with the Schools of Journalism and Law, and an undergraduate minor. The Group is supported in its efforts by the Institute of East Asian Studies, the International and Area Studies Teaching Program and the Undergraduate and Interdisciplinary Studies of the College of Letters and Science.
