The Concentration in Asian Studies is designed for students looking to focus on Asian Studies at a four-year institution, or for those interested in pursuing a career in a relevant field. A broad range of courses from several disciplines are available. The core language courses will serve as a gateway to related areas such as culture, history, literature, and film.

Students may choose to complete this concentration of study and have it posted to their transcript ONLY when the student successfully completes the Associate in Arts Degree, AA-DTA . Otherwise, courses taken will transfer to four-year universities on a course-by-course basis only.

Students are urged to consult with their Green River advisor to plan their programs of study. Students are also urged to consult with a representative from the university they plan to attend.

Students must complete the required courses with a 2.5 GPA.
