The Asian studies concentration centers on the religious, political, historical, artistic, and literary traditions of South and East Asia. This vast and varied area contains most of the global population. The region features major industrial powers including Japan, rapidly developing countries such as South Korea, and emerging economic giants like China and India. Given this economic significance and growth potential, along with ongoing territorial conflicts, U.S. foreign policy has increasingly shifted its attention toward Asia in recent years.
