Study Abroad Opportunities for Students in the Asian Studies Minor

Study of Asia is enriched by structured travel there of a semester or longer. Xavier has a network of partner institutions that offer programs that satisfy language and/or content requirements for the Asian Studies minor. Most also offer courses that satisfy core and major requirements. As Xavier-approved programs, tuition is in most cases identical to what a student would pay to remain in Cincinnati. You should strongly consider one of the following programs or contact the Asian Studies Minor coordinator and/or the Center for International Education for more options, including summer programs.
