The minor in Asian Thought consists of six courses (18 credits), at least three of which (nine credits) must be at the upper-division level. At least 12 credits must be taken for a letter grade. The program is designed to ensure an encounter with the variety of Asian worldviews and a grasp of problems of method and the critical use of sources in the study of the intellectual traditions in Asia.
