Students may enhance majors in other departments with a minor in East Asian Studies or Southeast Asian Studies. Students who major in Asian Studies often complement their course work with a year or more of residence in Asia. Many students double major to combine a profession with their area of expertise. Job possibilities are increasing in such fields as business, journalism, government and education.
Many students go on to do graduate studies.
The program is administered by the Asian studies committee, which is composed of faculty members with Asian specializations.
