Drake is pleased to announce a new concentration in East Asian Studies.

This new concentration provides opportunities for students to develop in-depth knowledge about China and Japan from multiple disciplinary perspectives, and prepares students for future life and work in the region. Students will gain an understanding of the factors underlying Asia’s rising influence in the world and the possible consequences of this growing role.

Available courses stretch across the fields of history, politics, sociology, philosophy, religion, language, and fine arts. The concentration complements a major in any of these disciplines as well as others, e.g., international relations and international business. Students concentrating in East Asian studies are strongly encouraged to study abroad in Asia.

In addition, Drake announced earlier this year the establishment of a Spanish minor.

Drake also offers a Latin American Studies concentration, as well as a language interdisciplinary minor which requires study abroad.
