Biographical / Historical
The Asian Studies program at Bowling Green State University was established in the early 1970s - with the first classes being taught in the fall 1972 quarter. The program grew slowly, having only 20-25 graduates by 1985. The program continues to be, however, one of the few such programs offered by Ohio universities. In the program, students gain a broad knowledge of the culture and societies of East Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia; and in-depth knowledge of one of the East Asian countries (Japan, China, and Korea); and basic conversational and reading skills of an Asian language.
