Asian Studies Concentration
Students may elect a Concentration in Asian Studies in conjunction with any major. To elect a Concentration in Asian Studies, download the "Change of Plan" form and a copy of your unofficial transcript from STAR and meet with Professor May Sim, Director of Asian Studies, your advisor, and then with Professor Susan Cunningham, Associate Director of the Center for Interdisciplinary and Special Studies (CISS) for signatures and advising. Students are normally expected to declare the Concentration by the second semester of their junior year.
