Program details

Overview

The Minor in Asian Studies, offered through UPEI's Faculty of Arts, examines the ancient civilizations of Asia and the continent's continuing significance in contemporary history and world affairs. The seven-course, 21-semester-hour minor draws on disciplines across the Arts to study Asian history, culture, and society, positioning Asia as central to understanding recent global history. As a minor, it is completed alongside a Bachelor of Arts major rather than as a stand-alone credential, and is delivered on UPEI's Charlottetown campus. High-school applicants require Grade 12 completion in a University Preparatory Program with an overall average of at least 70% (75% for Quebec Secondary V), including English, one Social Studies or Language course, and three other academic courses. The minor suits Arts students seeking a focused secondary credential in Asian history and culture alongside their primary major.
