Chinese
Minor in the College of Liberal Arts
As political and economic issues become increasingly international in scope, there is a growing need for Americans to be proficient in world languages.
The Department of Asian Studies was formed in 1994 to provide a focus within The University of Texas at Austin for the creation and dissemination of knowledge about Asia, principally East Asia (China, Japan, and Korea) and South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Afghanistan). With over forty instructors, the department is one of the largest and most distinguished in the country.
