Undergraduate Program

Minor Program

The Group in Asian Studies offers three minors: Chinese Studies, Japanese Studies, Korean Studies. The minor consists of taking five upper division courses in the student's region of focus. Only two language and literature courses (such as the 100 series) may be counted among the five upper division courses. Only two out of the five courses can be taken outside of the UC Berkeley campus.

For a listing of courses, minors in Chinese studies can refer to the "China focus" page under the Courses section, and minors in Japanese studies can refer to the "Japan focus" page. From these lists, choose only those classes that deal specifically with your region of focus.
