Why study asian studies?


  1. Investigate the oldest continuous cultures on earth -- which are enormously significant today. Learn about them not only in the classroom, but also by going there in person.
  2. Develop the analytical and communications skills (speaking, reading, writing, and thinking) that employers really want. This is particularly true if these skills include Asian languages.
  3. Cultivate cultural awareness and expertise. This will potentially bring immeasurable business advantages. It will also help shape you into a refined human being.
  4. Marvel at the profound cultural and intellectual diversity in this massive continent.
  5. Fatten your academic resume by adding a minor connected to your major.
