Note:

*: Not a Core Asian Studies Course.

Core courses focus substantially on Asian issues. Non-core courses are prerequisites or supplements for core courses or have limited Asian content. By petition, a set of two or three related non-core courses from a single discipline, which together have substantial Asian content, may count as a single 3-credit core course. For Middle East courses having limited Asian content, one 3-4 credit course may count as a core course for the certificate, and two may count for the degree.

L / S / H / U: Fulfills McMicken College requirement in Literature (L), Social and Behavior Science (S), History (H) Humanities (U).
‘Select Year’ course numbers count for Asian Studies credit when taken with Asian Studies faculty and covering Asia-related topics.
Course numbers occasionally change; current course lists can be obtained from the Asian Studies office.
