    Asian Languages and Civilizations

    About

    Overview Introduction to Asian Languages and CivilizationsThe Asian Languages and Civilizations program from Amherst College invites students to combine the serious study of language—Arabic, Chinese, or Japanese—with rigorous, interdisciplinary courses that explore East Asia, South Asia, West Asia, and Pan-Asia. Taken together, these courses engage some of the oldest and continuous civilizations as well as the most populous region of the world—by some estimates, Asia comprises nearly 60% of the world’s population today.We are particularly interested in cultural difference and its social and political implications, both within Asia and between Asia and the West. Our majors acquire a minimum of third-year level competency in their chosen language and combine that with a highly individualized course of study. Students often study abroad in China, Japan, Korea, Egypt, and Jordan, furthering their language development and experiencing directly local societies and cultures.  What is a major in Asian Languages and Civilizations good for? A few of our graduates pursue graduate degrees in Asian Studies or a related field, but most do not. From Google to law school, education to government service, our majors apply their language, critical-thinking skills, and cross-cultural sensitivities to a wide range of careers in the United States and in Asia.   I want to find another Bachelor Course
    Whether through literature, film, art, architecture, political science, anthropology, religion, or history, Asian Languages and Civilizations program from Amherst College allows you to engage this vital and significant part of our world. Learn about courses, lines of inquiry, and career paths for majors.
