Asian Studies at the University of Vermont
The Asian Studies Program at UVM
Asian Studies is an
interdisciplinary program composed of twenty-four faculty
members in fourteen academic disciplines -- Art History, Anthropology,
Chinese
Language, Community Development, Economics, Education,
Environmental Studies, History, Linguistics, Japanese Language,
Philosophy, Political
Science, and Religion. The
Asian Studies faculty is
noted for excellence in both
teaching and scholarship.
Major
and minor academic concentrations in Asian Studies are available to
undergraduate students. Several departments offer graduate programs as
well. Students majoring in Asian Studies take courses on Asia in
several academic disciplines and are encouraged to pursue language
courses and study abroad opportunities. Students focusing on a
geographic area in which UVM offers a full array of relevant language
courses (e.g., Chinese, Japanese, Arabic) all establish at least
intermediate proficiency in the pertinent Asian Language.
Asian
Studies faculty collaborate with community and student organizations to
bring to campus intellectual and cultural events related to Asia,
including speakers, films, music and dance performances, art exhibits,
and culinary demonstrations.
