Best Asian Studies Programs

<p>Any recommendations? I'm particularly interested in studying the Chinese language.</p>

<p>Asian Studies:
Harvard
Berkeley
U Chicago
Cornell
U Washington
U Penn
U Michigan AA
U Hawaii Manoa
U Texas Austin
U Illinois UC
Stanford
U Wisconsin
Yale</p>

<p>for chinese language, add to the above:
Columbia
Georgetown
U Indiana Bloomington</p>

<p>Berkeley seems to have some departmental presense, including their own library and building. They are also building a new Asian Studies building. How good is this place's program considered?</p>

<p>coming from personal experience and having taken some AAS classes before...i'd say SFSU has a very good program..one of the first universities in the U.S. to teach Ethnic Studies/ Asian AMerican Studies..its an okay school, but it you're looking to go into that major..great program, great teachers..i'd recommend it</p>

<p>Thank you for all your help. A couple more questions: How did you determine what universities went on your list? Do you know of any liberal arts colleges with good Asian Studies/Chinese language programs?</p>

<p>LACs with Asian Studies:
Amherst
Bard
Barnard
Beloit
Carleton
Claremont McKenna
Colgate
Holy Cross
Wooster
Earlham
Gonzaga
Hamilton
Hobart
Kenyon
Macalester
Occidental
Pitzer
Pomona
St Olaf
Scripps
Skidmore
Vassar
Wheaton (MA)

<p>Is constructing lists of colleges for students like CMV what you do all day long?</p>
