Department & Faculty Information  

The minor is designed to complement the student’s major by grouping courses taken as part of the major, courses taken to fulfill General Education requirements, and free electives into a package emphasizing Asia. A minimum of 18 units must be taken outside the student’s major.

Minor Requirements (32 units)


Students with broader interests in Asia can build into their curriculum a Minor in Asian Studies consisting of eight courses (32 units).

Although the Minor in Asian Studies does not include a foreign language requirement, one year of an Asian language may be counted toward fulfillment of the minor requirements. Students wishing to go on to graduate school in Asian Studies are strongly encouraged to begin their language study as part of their undergraduate training. Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese and Filipino are offered on campus.

It is also possible to include courses taken at the universities that are associated with the International Programs of the California State University system; these opportunities presently exist in China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan and others are being considered.

Thirty-two units (eight courses) may be chosen from the following list. No more than 12 units (three courses) in one department. At least 12 upper division units are required.
