UG Minor

Program Description

The East Asian Studies minor is designed for students who are interested in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean civilizations and who see the knowledge of the culture of these East Asian countries as significant components for their effectiveness in an increasingly international community. DBU students majoring in areas such as business, Christian faith, education, fine arts, humanities, and social sciences will find that this program provides a unique perspective on these dynamic East Asian countries and offers a valued complement to their major.
