Asian Studies
East and West are no longer separated by vast distances and differences, but are becoming integral parts of the emerging global village and of the world community in the making. Asia's economic, cultural, and political influence is growing steadily, and today's students need training in diverse areas of Asian civilization for future careers in an increasingly globalized marketplace. The Asian Studies program at UNLV is dedicated to enhancing knowledge about the traditions and contemporary societies of China, India, Japan, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Thailand, the Philippines, and other Asian countries. UNLV's participating faculty in the Asian Studies program offer a wide selection of teaching and research interests in multiple disciplines, aimed at communicating and sharing the distinctive cultural, political, linguistic, literary, artistic, and historical aspects of Asian life.
