Asian Studies

The Asian Studies program provides opportunities for study and research of the diverse societies that inhabit the Asian continent. The program takes as its geographical focus the regions of Eurasia and the Asia-Pacific. Interdisciplinary in approach, the program spans the fields of economics, foreign languages, history, political science, sociology and religion, and is dedicated to providing opportunities for foreign study and field experiences.

Through its major, minor and concentration curricula, the Asian Studies program is designed to provide students with a solid foundation to pursue careers in government services, business, and nongovernmental organizations, as well as for further graduate study.

Courses include:

• Societies and Cultures of East Asia
• World Religions
• Politics and Problems of Developing Countries
• East Asian Philosophy
• Asian Literature in Translation

Though not required, students are encouraged to study abroad. Baylor offers several study abroad programs located throughout Asia, including China, Korea and Japan.

Baylor offers a Baylor and Beyond Living-Learning Center. Although available for all majors and classifications, the Baylor and Beyond LLC is ideal for students interested in language, culture and engaging the world around them.
