교육목표·학과개요
The Asian Studies Division (ASD) is a humanities-based interdisciplinary program that combines UIC’s Common Curriculum with rigorous area studies. Students majoring in Asian Studies are required to fulfill the Common Curriculum courses in the first year and advance to major requirement courses thereafter. Reflected in the curriculum, the Asian Studies major at UIC transcends disciplinary and national borders and builds on basic training in critical thinking, writing, and reading, the TWR program. The upper division major courses in the Asian Studies L-H-P series (Literature-History-Philosophy) examine contacts, exchanges, and influence among China, Japan, and Korea with a concentration on historical phenomena and theoretical concerns in the region rather than national histories.
