Certificate programs in Asian Studies and Southeast Asian Studies are available to undergraduates, as well as Asian emphasis in the Honors College. To undertake such a program the student must fulfill the requirements of a departmental major as well as the degree requirements of the College. In consultation with the major advisor and the Center for Asian Studies, the student can design a program in which the Asian area requirements are largely integrated into the departmental and College requirements. For example, language majors can choose Asian area courses which satisfy both certificate and related field requirements .
Students can also take into consideration career goals and interests when selecting courses.
Fulfillment of these requirements will prepare able students for admission to graduate programs in Asian area studies or in an academic discipline with an Asian focus, as well as for professional programs in international law and business.
