Why study Asian Studies BA at UB?

Asian economies have a preeminent presence and impact worldwide, and political and social dynamics in Asia intersect profoundly with U.S. political, social, and cultural landscapes. We live and study in an age in which major world cultures that were formerly assigned to particular geographic regions are recognized to have truly international, cross-sectional reach. Studying Asian historic civilizations and contemporary societies and economies is fascinating, meaningful and practical.

Several Asian languages are taught in the Department of Linguistics. Chinese, Japanese, and Korean are each offered through the fourth-year. Undergraduate minors may be elected in these languages. UB students may also study Arabic, Hindi/Urdu, and Sanskrit.

Credits earned through study abroad in Asia, undertaking language study, non-language classes and graduate research can count toward Asian Studies major requirements.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of all requirements, the student will have knowledge and skills to:

• Use primary and secondary sources to develop arguments and analysisxad including sources in a language other than their native language
• Speak, listen, read, and write proficiently in an Asian language other than their native language at the intermediate level or higher
• Analyze how specific historical developments, cultural norms, socioeconomic and geographic contexts, etc. have shaped perceptions, practices, and products of individuals in specific Asian cultures, including Asian diaspora in the United States
• Compare and contrast historical developments, traditions, practices, and structures of an Asian target country with those of the United States
• Demonstrate specialized, interdisciplinary knowledge of one Asian country or region (normally the country or region of the second language studied)
• Understand the terminology and methodologies of different disciplinary approaches to the study of Asia

Career Outlook

Students who major in Asian Studies find job opportunities in international business, government service, non-governmental organizations, and the arts. Some go on to professional schools in such fields as management, finance, medicine, education, diplomacy, and law. Others pursue graduate degrees in Asian Studies or other disciplines and enter Asia-related academic careers. Students who combine the major in Asian Studies with another field through a double major, joint major, or minor may be particularly well suited for jobs that require professional training coupled with linguistic ability and cultural understanding of Asia.
