Current Courses

Courses exploring Asia at Saint Mary's University can be found not only in the listing for the Asian Studies Program (ASNT) but also among the courses offered by the Departments of Anthropology (ANTH), Geography (GEOG), History (HIST), Modern Languages (ARBC, CHNS, JPNS), and Religious Studies (RELS). (A list of all of the Asian Studies "core courses" in the University Calendar can be found here.) In the past, Asia-related courses have also been offered by Economics, Political Science, and Sociology, and potentially could be again. Students may petition the Asian Studies Program Coordinator regarding courses not listed here in order to earn credit in Asian Studies and related programs.

*Please note that the following course numbers have changed. Prior to Fall 2024, HIST3381, HIST3382, HIST3383, HIST3384, HIST 3385, HIST3386, HIST 3393 and HIST3394 were listed as HIST2354, HIST2355, HIST2356, HIST2381, HIST 2382, HIST2383, HIST 2393, and HIST 2394.
