Asian Studies

The Center for Asian Studies (CAS) was established in 1999 to advance knowledge of Asia through undergraduate and graduate education, faculty research, and outreach programs for the broader community. The Center for Asian Studies is pleased to offer the graduate certificate in Asian studies, which draws on graduate coursework in Asia-related topics across multiple departments and schools.

The Center is committed to managing and expanding the study of Asia by providing graduate student fellowships and scholarships such as Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships, the Edward G. Seidensticker Japan Summer Research Grant, and the Japanese Studies Scholarship Fund; investing in faculty research and professional development; providing support for bringing additional  Asia-related resources to the CU Boulder campus; developing academic exchanges with Asia-based institutions; and engaging the local community with Asia-related programs and events.

The Center also serves as a network and community-building resource for faculty and students across the university. Graduate students can establish connections with the over 100 faculty members doing teaching or research related to Asia by attending CAS events and getting involved with CAS initiatives.

Faculty

While many faculty teach both undergraduate and graduate students, some instruct students at the undergraduate level only. For more information, contact the faculty member's home department.
