All students majoring in the Asian languages are strongly encouraged to augment these majors with the Interdisciplinary Minor in Asian Studies offered by the Asian Studies Program, thereby enhancing their major with a deeper and broader comprehension of Asian cultures and societies. Up to two courses taken for the ALC majors may be applied to the Asian Studies Minor. See requirements under the Asian Studies listing.
