The BA in Asian Studies is an inter-disciplinary major which will enable students to develop a grounded and sophisticated understanding of Asia as a region, countries within Asia, and the peoples, cultures, thought systems and histories of Asia. It offers a range of courses on East Asian Studies; Southeast, South, and West Asian Studies; Art, Culture, and Society of Asia; and Politics and Economics of Asia. Students are encouraged to pursue study abroad at an HPU student exchange program to complete part of the degree requirements.
The Asian Studies program is undergoing significant changes and updated information will soon be made available. In the meanwhile, if you have any questions of concerns please do not hesitate contact Dr. Matt LoPresti at mlopresti@hpu.edu or 808-544-0207.
