The Asian Studies Program encourages students to broaden their horizons and immerse themselves in a culture by spending a Summer, Semester, or Academic Year studying abroad in China, Japan, Korea, India, or elsewhere in Asia. Up to 16 credits earned in overseas coursework may be considered toward the Major in Asian Studies, and up to 9 credits toward the Minor.
In recent years, students have studied at campuses in Asia such as Beijing Capital Normal University, Kanazawa University, Kansai Gaidai, Nagasaki University, Nanjing Normal University, Tsukuba University, Xi'an International Studies University, Yonsei University, and JET. SUNY New Paltz also offers a 6-credit, two-week Political Science Study Mission to China.
New Paltz students may apply for dozens of SUNY overseas programs throughout East and Southeast Asia, and costs often parallel SUNY tuition. Others programs are partly or fully funded by the governments and universities abroad. Scholarships are also available to qualified applicants. For more information on specific overseas programs in Asia that are open to SUNY New Paltz students, please visit the Center for International Programs on campus, located in the Guest House.
Advising in preparation for post-graduation study or teaching abroad, such as JET or CIEE, is also provided by the Asian Studies Program.
