Why finance matters:
Finance is the language of investment, growth, and strategic decision-making. Understanding it means having the tools to evaluate risk, identify opportunity, and navigate the fast-paced world of financial markets. Strong quantitative and analytical skills are essential for interpreting data, anticipating market trends, and making evidence-based decisions that can drive success in both business and personal finance.

The Asian studies minor allows students to explore Asia through multiple academic lenses, with coursework spanning religion, history, politics, literature, and visual culture. Drawing on disciplines across the humanities, social sciences, and arts, the curriculum helps students understand Asia’s internal diversity and its global connections.
Students in the Asian studies minor often extend their learning beyond the classroom through immersive experiences like study abroad, independent research, and co-curricular events that explore Asian cultures and current affairs.
Short-term or semester-long study abroad programs give students the opportunity to engage directly with the languages, histories, and communities they study. On campus, lectures, performances, and student organizations offer additional ways to explore cultural traditions and contemporary issues across Asia and its global communities.
These experiences help students apply their learning in real-world contexts — building intercultural understanding, communication skills, and global awareness.
