A Liberal Arts understanding of the Asian region must include experiential knowledge, as well as the painful consideration of ethical and political implications of our studies. Colorado College offers both a major and a thematic minor in Asian Studies which is supported by a coordinated selection of courses on Asian topics as well as numerous courses of related interest. They are listed by PA registration on the following pages. Courses which do not focus primarily on Asia and the Pacific, but which are of related interest are listed at the end of this section by their departmental course number. Asian Studies is not limited to formal course work.
Faculty are interested in talking with students and advising independent research or study plans.
Tutt Library and other resources in Colorado Springs and the Denver area can help you pursue your interests. Student and other chartered organizations at the College and in Colorado, provide a forum for sharing our interests in Asia and the Pacific and for enjoying the area's arts and culture. There are also work and graduate opportunities in Asian Studies. Information on faculty, resources, and chartered organizations, as well as work and graduate programs are included in this handbook.
