"I love the diverse range of classes and people that make up the Asian Studies major! All of the professors are extremely knowledgeable and eager to work with the students that make up their classes.

What's your favorite thing about the Asian Studies major?
"...It allows students to dive into a wide range of interesting courses and to engage with the diverse perspectives of professors and students alike. As someone who has moved back and forth between South Korea and the United States, various Asian Studies courses have given me the opportunity to explore my own journey and identity within the broader context of Asia."
