Leading to a bachelor of arts degree, the Asian Studies major at Clark University is multidisciplinary, challenging your fluency in the social sciences, humanities, arts, and business.

Complete immersive study abroad and internship experiences in China, Japan, and/or Vietnam, through one of several programs with leading institutions in those countries.
Gain functional literacy in a language relevant to your area of focus; Clark offers courses in Chinese and Japanese.
