The Asian Traditions Program at Muhlenberg College offers students the opportunity for multidisciplinary study of Asia, inegrating the perspectives of fields across the humanities, social science, and fine arts.  Asian countries and cultures play an increasingly influential role both in international affairs and in our own local communities.  Through coursework and independent study at Muhlenberg, as well as via co-curricular activities and study abroad experiences, students gain a more nuanced understanding of the continuing contributions of Asian cultures globally.
