Teaching contributes to our research agenda.
Research achievements contribute to teaching success. I think teaching and research are natural complements of each other. Students are expected to have a background in area studies, including formal training in one or more Asian languages. After completing the core course, students will take an additional 18 credits from across the university under the supervision of IAR faculty. These courses will be tailored to meet the students' interests in their chosen area.
