Three billion people live in East, Southeast, and South Asia - half of the world's population. The importance of this immense and varied region cannot be overstated. More and more Americans are discovering the rich culture and history of the Asian people. Asians have made major contributions to the world's literature and art, religion and philosophy, and are becoming increasingly important in international relations, business, and economics.

The Department of Asia Pacific Studies seeks to provide a background for students planning to enter business, the academic environment, government, or community service - wherever the knowledge of Asia and Asians is needed. Students in the major develop an understanding of cultural, social, political, and environmental issues in the Asia/Pacific region.

Non-majors who wish to increase their knowledge about Asian peoples will find courses available in the Asian studies undergraduate and graduate programs.
