Binghamton University proudly announces the launching of our new
MASTER OF ARTS DEGREE IN ASIAN & ASIAN AMERICAN STUDIES
The Master of Arts degree offered by the Department of Asian & Asian
American Studies (DAAAS) is the first such program in the State University
of New York system. The purpose of the DAAAS MA is to enhance
intercultural understanding, promote rigorous scholarly study of Asian
societies, cultures, histories, languages, and migrations, and prepare
students to engage with the increasing interdependence of Asia, North
America and the world.
The MA offers students the opportunity to choose
from six fields of study: Asian American and Diaspora Studies; Global
Asia; Korean Studies; Japanese Studies; Chinese Studies; and South Asian
Studies (currently in development). Each provides an ideal course of study
for students wishing to gain a thorough and multidisciplinary
understanding of that particular field. Faculty will mentor students using
a variety of multidisciplinary and comparative cross-national
perspectives, intellectual frameworks, dialogues, and research. Graduates
of the DAAAS MA will be well-positioned to further specialize in their
field of study, or pursue careers in areas such as education, business,
government, public policy, arts and culture, and NGOs.
