Associate of Arts in Asian Studies

Join KPU’s Asian Studies Program and we will introduce you to the diverse cultures of Asia and their connection to our country and our local communities.
In this four-year interdisciplinary program, you will not only acquire practical competencies that you will be able to apply in our local multicultural communities, you will also develop the intellectual and cultural skills required to operate successfully in a world where the nations of Asia are increasingly influential.
In our contemporary globalized economy, your ability to combine Asian language skills with a critical understanding of the region’s cultural and historical heritage will automatically give you many advantages.

In this interdisciplinary degree, you will choose from a number of disciplines such as Asian Studies, History, Languages & Culture, Anthropology, Geography, and Sociology in order to create a program that suits your particular interests and career goals.
Language training is an important part of your Asian Studies Program. At KPU, you can choose to study East and South Asian languages such as Punjabi, Mandarin, or Japanese.
If you enrol in the Asian Studies program, you will be eligible to take part in exchanges with KPU’s partner institutions in China, India, and Japan. The Asian Studies program also offers opportunities for you to participate in Field Schools in Asia where you will earn credits while experiencing Asian culture first-hand.
If you are enrolled in another program at KPU, consider courses offered by the Asian Studies program as electives. Many of these courses will complement your Business, General Studies, and other degree programs.
The Interdisciplinary Asian Studies program will appeal to recent high school graduates as well as mid-career professionals seeking to expand their knowledge and skills base. In a world increasingly characterized by complex problems in areas such as business and trade, the environment, immigration, international conflict, food security, and human health, your knowledge of Asia's cultures, histories, politics, and languages will help you to make a positive impact on our communities and your world.
The Associate of Arts Degree (AA) in Asian Studies will introduce you to the discipline and prepare you for further study. By completing the AA Degree you will gain a broader understanding of the world in which you live and will become a more informed and engaged citizen. You can choose to focus on a particular geographic region, however, we recommend that you complete as broad a range of courses as possible.
Asian Studies courses involve a significant amount of reading and writing, therefore, it is strongly recommended that you complete your English requirements within your first two semesters.
