Asia-Canada Program

Founded on a belief in both the importance and complexity of inter-cultural understanding and trans-Pacific relations, the program focuses on the multidisciplinary study of Asia and Asian Canadians, from cultural, political, economic, historical, religious and philosophical perspectives.

Students interested in learning about Asian influences in Canada and about Asian-Canadian communities, as well as the rich and complex relations between Asian countries and Canada, will find this program of particular interest.

You can take courses in a wide range of areas, including Chinese, Japanese and other Asian cultures, East, Southeast or South Asian art, literature and philosophy, and Asia-Canada identities including immigrant experiences and social and cultural aspects of life in North America. You also have the opportunity to participate in international field schools and exchange programs, learn Asian languages, and improve economic, social and cultural connections between Asian countries and Canada.
