The Master of Asian International Affairs is designed for working professionals whose careers would be enhanced by a deeper understanding of contemporary Asia and the multifaceted (cultural, historical, social, and political) determinants and impacts of Asian nations’ engagement with their neighbors and the world.
Geared towards students with at least two years of professional experience, the program includes courses on area studies and applied theory, and culminates in a capstone experience in which students apply their knowledge either to a project in their own field or to a collaboration with professional partners working on real-world issues.
There is no Asian language proficiency requirement. Students will be assigned an academic advisor who can help them design a study plan that meets their individual needs.
