Recent projects in Asian studies include:
The Asian Studies Program offers a remarkable blend of structure and flexibility in coursework. The major consists of nine courses in at least three departments and includes language study as well as an introductory course on Asia's great cities. Further courses focus on either a single country or a regional theme; within this broad framework, students design their own curriculum.
Asian studies majors are encouraged to take advantage of Hamilton's study-abroad opportunities. The Associated Colleges in China Program has won recognition as one of the top approaches to studying the Chinese language and culture. In addition, the New York State Independent College Consortium for Study in India introduces students to the geographic and cultural diversity of northern India each fall.
Hamilton has an unusually large Asian studies faculty for a liberal arts college of its size. Faculty members in the program are based in the humanities, history, the social sciences and languages. Their expertise encompasses China, India, Indonesia and Tibet, and ranges from contemporary politics and culture to traditional arts, thought, religion and ritual. Two members of the faculty are nationally recognized leaders in using technology to teach Chinese.
As a truly interdisciplinary field with a flexible curriculum, Asian studies has wide appeal as a second major or minor. Recent students have combined coursework in the program with interests in government, technology, the arts, business, education and world politics to position themselves for professional life after Hamilton.
