Description
Home to major philosophical, religious, artistic, and political traditions that have shaped global history, Asia remains critically important in understanding the contemporary transnational marketplace and international politics. The Asian Studies Program offers students a variety of courses and a multidisciplinary framework for the exploration and interpretation of the diverse societies, cultures, and politics of Asia and the Asian diaspora. Faculty with research and teaching expertise in Asia from a wide range of departments within the College work together to develop courses and activities that create opportunities for students to understand traditional and contemporary histories, social and political movements, religious foundations and transformations, economic development, philosophical traditions, and artistic productions within Asia, globally, and in diaspora. Students can receive training in Asian languages at the College or through other programs, such as Study Abroad or the Higher Education Consortium of Central Massachusetts. In addition to serving as a focus of a broad liberal arts education, Asian Studies provides majors and minors the benefit of interdisciplinary training that can lead to careers in international affairs, public policy, law, business, journalism, technology, health development, scholarship, and the arts.
