Master of Arts in Asian Studies

Program Overview

The Master of Arts (MA) in Asian Studies (AST) provides a comparative understanding of the cultural, economic, and socio-political significance of Asia in the 21st century. It requires competency in one or more Asian languages. To achieve this, MA students are encouraged to study abroad for part of their course work. For students interested in teaching Asian languages, this degree also offers the Chinese Studies option in “Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language,” or the Asian Studies option “Japanese Language and Pedagogy.” Graduates from the MA program in Asian Studies can expect to be much more competitive for positions in the Foreign Service, State Department, K-12 and community college education and administration, international finance and industry, non-governmental organizations, academic publishing, professional translation work, and Ph.D. programs in Chinese, Japanese, or Asian Studies.

Student Learning Outcomes

Asian Studies: By the end of their course work in comparative Asian Studies, graduate students will be able to:

  • Demonstrate their ability to research comparative topics on Asia using at least one Asian language along with European language sources. They will demonstrate this in their culminating project. 
  • Demonstrate a comparative understanding of the cultural, economic, or socio-political significance of Asia in the 21st century. They will demonstrate this through their course work and culminating project.
  • Demonstrate research proficiency in at least one Asian language. They will demonstrate this through their course work and culminating project.
