BA in Asian Studies in Bethlehem United States | Lehigh University

The Asian Studies program aims to achieve three key objectives: immersing students in a specific regional language and culture, offering a broad overview of diverse Asian Studies disciplines, and facilitating advanced research projects. Upon completion, graduates are well-equipped for graduate studies, professional training, or careers in both public and private organizations. There's growing demand for professionals who pair a primary discipline (such as business, economics, or international relations) with Asian Studies as a secondary focus, particularly those with Asian language proficiency. The curriculum emphasizes Asia's profound historical and cultural legacy, with three core purposes: establishing linguistic and cultural foundations, providing interdisciplinary exposure to Asian Studies, and creating opportunities for in-depth research.
