Asian Studies

Join one of the only Christian universities in the U.S. that offers a comprehensive Asian studies program.

At Calvin, you'll gain a fuller perspective of Asian culture through progressive language instruction in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. You'll delve deep into the histories, religious traditions, philosophies, economics, politics, and fine arts of Asia. You’ll select one of three Asian languages to study: Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. And you'll have the chance to pursue those studies abroad, through one of many off-campus programs.

With your insight you gain into the languages and cultures of Asia, you'll find new opportunities in careers ranging from business to healthcare to international relations.
