UMass Boston

University of Massachusetts Boston Department of Asian Studies

Asian Studies Department

Asian Studies aims to give students a broad knowledge of specific regions of Asia, treating each region from the perspective of a number of different academic disciplines (anthropology, art, economics, film, history, languages, literature, philosophy, political science, religion, sociology, and women’s and gender studies).
UMass Boston currently offers an East Asian and South Asian track for the Asian studies major as well as three minors.

Student Restaurant Reviews

As part of Professor Haroon's ASIAN 115L course, students ate at local Asian restaurants and wrote reviews of their experiences. Have a look at them here! It might give you a taste of how much fun this course can be, and maybe even help you decide what to have for dinner.
