Asian Studies Minor (AST)

Download as PDF

One of the most economically and culturally dynamic regions in the world, Asia is home to more than 60 percent of the world’s people and some of the world’s most highly developed civilizations and richest cultural heritages. The Asian Studies minor enables students to combine study of an Asian language with selected courses in history, religion, politics, and other fields. Students who complete this minor will be culturally and linguistically literate in a rapidly changing region with ever-deepening ties to Kentucky and the United States.
