To appreciate the Asian peoples—their languages, their history, their society, their political/economic systems—and the Asian experiences in the United States, the Asian studies minor is designed to be broadly inclusive. Students are strongly encouraged to enroll in Asian languages classes at UNH as well as explore Asian courses at other U.S. and Asian institutions.

To complete the minor in Asian Studies, students are required to take five courses (20 credits) or their equivalent, and no more than three can be counted from any one of the following disciplines:

Anthropology (ANTH)
Asian American or South Asian Literature (ENGL)
Geography (GEOG)
History (HIST)
Languages, Literatures, and Cultures (either CHIN or JPN)
Philosophy (PHIL)
Political Science (POLT)
