Asia is the birthplace of many great religious and cultural traditions and is a region in rapid and profound transformation. With half of the world's population and half of its land mass, Asia is destined to play an increasingly important role in the global economy and world politics. A minor in Asia Pacific Studies will give you a better understanding of an important region of the world, broaden your perspective, and give you an edge in seeking jobs in various government agencies, international organizations, private businesses, law firms, and non-profit organizations that deal with Asia. It also prepares you for graduate studies in the humanities and social sciences. This minor will complement many majors, including those in history, anthropology, communications, economics, and government and politics.
