Transnational Asia Advanced Certificate

Return to: University Center for International Studies

The new Transnational Asia certificate will focus on the expansive mobility, connectivity, and communication between Asia and the world, and the impact of these relationships in fields such as economics, history, business, anthropology, political science, and public policy, among others.  This new graduate certificate program will help students prepare for international careers with a global or Asian focus. The Transnational Asia Advanced Certificate would allow students with a strong linguistic background, or students who were working intensively on more than one Asian language to document their advanced skills in Asian languages and flows. The proposed Transnational Asia Certificate would complement, not replace, graduate programs in traditional academic disciplines, while also making certificate coursework more attainable and desirable graduate students in professional programs. The interdisciplinary and transnational nature of the certificate would encourage students to take courses in multiple departments and thus work to increase student exposure to departmental offerings outside of their majors and minors.
