The PCC Asian Studies Program seeks to foster a richer understanding and appreciation of the cultures of Asia. Sixteen credits from the following courses can culminate in an Asian Studies Focus Award, which will show prospective employers and transfer colleges a foundational focus on Asia. This program encourages broader reflections about the nature of culture and how it shapes everything from world views to daily life, increasing the student’s cultural competencies. Above all, these focused studies provide an enriching life experience.
Focus Award
In this program you can earn:
- Focus Award: Asian Studies
See the catalog and the Asian Studies Classes web page for more details.
Note: This focus award is not a formal, transcripted degree or certificate, but is a recognition of courses taken to supplement the skills you already have. Focus awards may be earned in combination with a certificate and/or degree.
