Asian Humanities Minor

The Asian Humanities Minor is designed for students who do not require or are unable to pursue extensive language training, but who still wish to make a serous commitment to the study of Asian cultures. Students may choose, in consultation with the director of undergraduate studies, either a geographic area of focus (China, Japan, Korea, South Asia, or Comparative) or a thematic concentration (literary studies, film, media, etc.) to provide focus and depth to their course of study.

In some cases, up to two courses taken abroad may be counted towards the minor with the approval of the director of undergraduate studies and pending departmental review. For more information about the review process, please contact the director of undergraduate studies.

Minor Requirements (7 units)

Double-counting note: Weinberg College prohibits double-counting a minor course toward some other major or minor, except where this is explicitly permitted in this catalog. Weinberg College does allow double-counting a minor course toward a general bachelor's degree requirement (i.e. degree requirements other than majors or minors). Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits.
