Bachelor of Arts with a Major in Asian Studies
General Requirements
Elliott School bachelor's degrees engage students with global issues through multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches. Students begin their studies in the first year with foundational courses in political science, economics, history, and anthropology or geography. They supplement these courses with others in the traditional liberal arts categories of writing, natural or physical science, mathematics or statistics, and the humanities/creative arts, plus two writing in the disciplines courses. Foreign language study also is emphasized early in each program to enable students to satisfy the third-year language proficiency requirement of the bachelor's degree in a timely manner.
