鈥淚 discovered the Global Asia Program after I started taking Linguistics courses that can be applied towards it. Studying specific regions like China and Japan allowed me to learn more about the linguistic diversity and issues in these specific areas. The courses focus on contemporary and political themes, so there is a lot of critical thinking and discussion involved. Courses dive super deep and get very engaging so if that is what you are into then you should do well.鈥�
