亚洲研究计划着重于对亚洲人民，文化和机构的研究。课程工作是多学科的，包括历史，地理和亚洲语言课程。通过该计划，学生可以了解亚洲的政治，经济和社会机构的基础和功能。他们还精通至少一种亚洲语言，并且对亚洲国家之间在种族，历史，文化，宗教和制度方面的异同有所了解。强烈建议（但并非必须）让学生至少花一个学期参加出国留学计划。在亚洲的生活和学习为学生提供了在教室环境中无法获得的更广泛的知识和经验。
The Asian studies program focuses on the study of peoples, cultures, and institutions of Asia. Coursework is multidisciplinary, consisting of history, geography, and Asian language classes. Through the program, students obtain an understanding of the foundation and functioning of political, economic, and social institutions of Asia. They also gain proficiency in at least one Asian language and develop an understanding of similarities and differences among Asian nations with respect to ethnicity, history, culture, religion, and institutions. It is highly recommended, but not required, that students spend at least one term of their education participating in a study abroad program. Living and studying in Asia provides students with a greater depth of knowledge and experience that cannot be gained in a classroom setting.
