Students majoring in the program are to construct their studies around four components: 1. language requirement. A minimum of twelve (12) semester hours of course work in a relevant area language (Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Sanskrit, or some other approved Asian language). To encourage the achievement of language proficiency, language course-work hours taken beyond the twelve (12) semester hour minimum will be counted towards the degree requirements 2. history requirement. A minimum of six (6) semester hours in Asia history courses. 3. major and minor track requirements. Students are to select either the social science track or the arts and humanities track as the major focus of their course work. Students are to take a minimum of twelve (12) semester hours of course work among those area-specific courses listed for their major track and a minimum of six (6) semester hours of course work from among those courses listed for their minor track. 4. concepts and theories tool requirement. For each of the two tracks a larger number of concepts and theories courses are selected from the relevant disciplines. Students are to take six (6) semester hours of course work from among those courses listed for their major track. Students are encouraged to select from among history and area specific courses to complete the major, although additional concepts and theories may be used to meet required prerequisites. Asian Studies Minor: Students minoring in the program must complete eighteen (18) semester hours of Asian Studies course work beyond the liberal studies requirement. In this case, none of the broader comparative concepts and theories will count toward the eighteen (18) semester-hour minimum. Students may select freely from all area specific courses so long as at least three (3) semester hours are taken in history and each of the two tracks.
