St. Andrews' exciting Asian Studies Program is one of only a few across the region. This is due to the expertise and experience of faculty members, and to the opportunities afforded students by way of a flexible and inviting array of course offerings and overseas travel-study arrangements. The Asian Studies Program offers students an intense immersion in selected cultures, religions, languages, history, literature, politics and economics of Asia. Our professors have not only researched and written about Asia, but they have also lived there, taught there, studied and traveled usually with groups of students.

St. Andrews Presbyterian College has connections with colleges in China and Japan where our students may study both language and culture. A student interested in majoring or minoring in Asian Studies would take many of these classes before or after their participation in Asian study-abroad programs.

Students interested in a major would need to complete a GIS (Guided Independent Study in Asian Studies) during their senior year and have completed up to an intermediate level in their chosen Asian language prior to graduation. For more information on Asian Studies at St. Andrews, please contact Dr. Larry Schulz, Professor of Politics and Asian Studies, who is the Director of Asian Studies.
