Bachelor of Arts (BA) in East Asian Studies

BA in East Asian Studies with Co-operative Education

Notes:

• A Minor is offered in East Asian Studies.
• A Minor/Concentration is offered in South Asian Studies.
  

Asian Studies is an interdisciplinary area that includes a BA in East Asia, a Minor in East Asian Studies and Minor/Concentration in South Asian Studies.  (Related and minors in Chinese and Japanese are offered by the Department of Germanic, Slavic and East Asian Studies.) These programs are designed for students with an interdisciplinary interest in Asia. Career opportunities for graduates of this program exist in government departments, the diplomatic services or private corporations with business concerns in the area.

Students may wish to consider undertaking a double Major with a disciplinary subject such as Political Science or Philosophy, especially if they are contemplating proceeding to graduate work. Combinations with other interdisciplinary majors could well be considered also. As well, the Major in East Asian Studies may be combined with a Development Studies, Chinese or Japanese Minor. In no case, however, may the same course count towards both the Major and the Minor.
