About the
Major
Asia plays an ever more important role in global affairs, in trade and economics, and in our everyday lives here in California. Asian humanities enables one to master the complexities of inter-cultural communication through learning radically different systems of language, literary traditions, and religious worldviews. In addition to language study, courses in aesthetics, Buddhism, cultural studies, gender issues, film, linguistics, literature, mythology, and post-colonial perspectives facilitate the exploration of new vistas, ranging from the high cultural achievements of ancient civilizations to the latest postmodern permutations of globalized cultural trends. Outside of class, the large Asian and Asian American population in Southern California also affords major unique opportunities for cultural, educational, and social activities related to Asia and Asian languages. Majors acquire not only the practical and intellectual resources needed for effective intercultural communication, but also the ability to achieve a more profound understanding of themselves and of their world.
