Graduate Courses

PLEASE NOTE: The following is a complete list of courses that have been used towards an Asian Studies program. Due to space and scheduling availability, not all courses can be offered at any given time, therefore this list is to be used as a guide and is based on the online Course Catalog. Because Asian Studies is an interdisciplinary program, it is possible to have credit from a course not listed below counted toward an Asian Studies degree/certificate with prior approval from the Asian Studies Office. These courses can include international or global topics.
