About the Asian Studies major

Union's Asian Studies program emphasizes the language, culture, and art of Asia, particularly China and Japan. Our diverse faculty offers courses in the humanities and social sciences, from music and art history to economics and political science.

The program emphasizes language and cultural immersion for global citizenship. We partner with the International Programs Office to offer full-term study abroad in China, Japan, Vietnam and Cambodia, as well as mini-terms in Bali and India.
