The Asian studies concentration at Randolph-Macon Woman's College is a good way to get started in the direction of a career in the international realm. For those targeting graduate school, it provides a broad grounding in the histories, societies, and cultures of China and Japan, as well as in the Japanese language. For those pursuing careers in government or business, the Asian studies courses, coupled with courses taken in a variety of departments, provide valuable skills that are impressive to prospective employers.
Many students participate in internships or study-abroad programs .
The R-MWC Career Development Center provides a variety of assistance with your job search or with preparation for graduate school . The Alumnae Network database helps you locate alumnae who have volunteered to assist with job searches, internships, and short-term housing. You may request a search by geographic area, major, or job. You will receive a printout of alumnae who have volunteered to help. My work in Asian Studies at Randolph-Macon is something that I'll always appreciate.
