It's not too early to start thinking about your Spring 2027 schedule. Check out these amazing Asian Studies classes, taught by some of the best teachers in the PNW. You can't go wrong!

And, if you haven't yet, why not add an Asian Studies minor? Just 3 semesters of Chinese or Japanese, or an approved semester abroad, plus three more classes. Fun, easy(ish), and looks great on a resume!
