The Asian Studies minor offers students an opportunity to pursue interests in contemporary Asian societies, adding an important global focus to their major studies. Students are encouraged to apply a range of research methodologies with a focus on interdisciplinarity with course offerings from various disciplines in humanities and social sciences, including Anthropology, Sociology, History, Political science, Gender and Women’s Studies, Linguistics, Literature, Music, Art, Geography, and Philosophy. During the process, students develop critical thinking abilities and problem-solving skills which prepare them to successfully join the workforce of Colorado and/or pursue an advanced degree.
A grade of “D-” or better is required for each course in this program to count toward the minor. Students should note that programs differ in the minimum grade required. Asian Studies minors must have an overall GPA of 2.00 to graduate.
