The Asian Studies program is a collaborative offering of the Faculties of Communication and Culture, Humanities and Social Sciences. It includes a BA in East Asia, a minor/concentration in South Asian Studies and minors in East Asian Studies, Chinese and Japanese already offered through the Faculties of Communication and Culture and Humanities. This umbrella structure provides an institutional basis for the strengthening of interdisciplinary offerings in East Asia and for future developments of a similar nature in the areas of South Asia and the ASEAN nations.

The program is designed for students with an interdisciplinary interest in Asia. Career opportunities for graduates of this program exist in government departments, the diplomatic services or private corporations with business concerns in the area.

Students may wish to consider undertaking a double Major with a disciplinary subject such as Political Science or Philosophy, especially if they are contemplating proceeding to graduate work. Combinations with other interdisciplinary majors could well be considered also. As well, the East Asia Major may be combined with a Development Studies, Chinese or Japanese Minor; in no case, however, may the same course count towards both the Major and the Minor. See the relevant faculty sections of this Calendar for further information on these Minors. Disciplinary Minors should also be considered.

All applicants must have included English Language Arts 30-1, and Pure Mathematics 30 (or Mathematics 31) or a language (other than English) at the 30 level, or their equivalents.

Students in the East Asia Major within the Asian Studies program are governed by the Academic Regulations of the three Faculties (Communication and Culture, Humanities, and Social Sciences) as well as the Academic Regulations section (at the front) of this Calendar. With two exceptions, the three Faculties have the same academic regulations. These exceptions are the criteria for determining probationary status and dismissal and the grade point average criterion needed to carry more than five courses in any one academic session. In both cases, students in the East Asia Major within the Asian Studies program will follow the regulations listed in the Faculty of Humanities section of this Calendar. For all other regulations, students may consult the Calendar section for any of the three faculties.

The minor in East Asian Studies is offered by the Faculty of Communication and Culture. Program details can be found in the Communication and Culture section of this Calendar.
