The minor in Asian Studies is intended to provide students with a multifaceted understanding of Asian societies, histories, languages, political systems, and geographies.

Requirements for the minor:  A total of 21 credit hours, distributed as 12 hours of core courses and nine hours of designated electives.  The core consists of the following courses:  HST 103, PAR 232, PLS 339, and three hours of a foreign language (either JPN 101 or transfer credit of study of another Asian language).  The remaining nine hours may be chosen from GGY 181, 388; HST 360, 361, 363, 365, 366, 497*; JPN 101, 102, 201, 202, 211; PAR 246, 247, 248, 370, and PLS 317; FST369**(Japanese Cinema); ENG342***(Japanese Literature); EDN495(595)***(Study Abroad to Japan at Watson School of Education).  At least six credits of the total 21 must be taken at the 300-level or above. 

*HST 497 is strictly limited to those who have taken HST 290, which, in effect, limits it to history majors
**FST369 has become FST 385 Japanese Cinema (3).  Please refer to the course catalogue.
***FNG342 and EDN495(595): After taking these courses, which contents are Asia, please obtain a Substitution Form from the Asian Study Minor Coordinator and take it to the Register's office to count the courses toward the Asian Studies Minor.

Substitution will be approved for topic courses, seminars, directed individual study, field work, and/or study abroad that focus primarily on Asia. Students must have a grade of "C-(minus)" or better for each course counted towards the minor and "C" (2.00) average or better for all courses counted towards the minor.
