Asian Studies - St Mary's College of Maryland

Asian Studies from St Mary's College of Maryland is a Campus Bachelor Area Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Because of its wide-ranging historical and geographic scope, Asian Studies must employ an interdisciplinary approach. The core requirement for the major in Asian Studies is a team-taught, interdisciplinary course, which offers students an opportunity to explore the breadth of disciplinary approaches to this study area. Further Asian Studies courses may be found in the departments of Political Science, Economics, History, English, International Languages and Cultures, Philosophy and Religious Studies, and Theater, Film and Media Studies . This "area studies" approach demands that students take an active and conscious part in designing their major in Asian Studies. The Asian Studies faculty strongly recommends that students anchor their study of Asia in language study and study abroad. In addition to Chinese language offerings on-campus, St. Mary's offers study-abroad programs at Fudan University in Shanghai, China; Lingnan University in Hong Kong, China; Payap University in Chiang Mai, Thailand; and Akita University in Japan. Students may pursue the study of other Asian languages through study-abroad programs in other Asian countries, or choose to attend language programs at other universities and colleges in the U.S. No study of Asia and its cultures is complete without the study of an Asian language.
