Asian Studies
Asia is the world's most populous region. It is home to the oldest continuous civilizations and some of the world's most vibrant economies. For many years, U.S. trade across the Pacific has been far greater than trade across the Atlantic. Asian societies have worked out their own distinctive solutions to some of humanity's most enduring predicaments. Today, Asia's ancient religions and beliefs are showing remarkable flexibility in adapting to the challenges of the modern world.
If you are intrigued by this fascinating region of the world, the Asian Studies major and minor offer courses, including language courses in Japanese, ancient and modern history, religions as varied as Sikhism and Buddhism, explorations of social issues, art and literature, and much more.
Students are highly encouraged to take advantage of CSU, Chico Study Abroad opportunities in China, India, Japan, Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand.
