Why Pursue Asian Studies?

Students who major in Asian Studies often complement their coursework with a year or more of residence in Asia. Many students double major to combine a profession with their area of expertise. Job possibilities are increasing in such fields as business, journalism, government, and education. Many students go on to do graduate studies.
