Asian and Pacific Studies Program (ASPA)


The Asian and Pacific Studies Program offers students who have a professional or personal interest in Asian and Pacific countries the opportunity to develop cultural expertise through an integrated course of study, primarily in the liberal arts. The program aims to achieve a better understanding of the peoples and traditions of Asia and the Pacific and some contemporary issues facing the region.

All majors and minor are required to study an Asian language of their choice and to specialize in a particular Asian country or a particular discipline as applied to Asia, such as Art, Business, Literature, Political Science, or Religion.

Students are encouraged to participate in the University's study abroad and exchange programs in locations such as Beijing, Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, Ahmedabad, and Manila.
