<p>UMich has a strong Asian language program and has the oldest Japanese Studies program in the US. The department offers many Asian language classes including Bengali, Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Tagalog, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Tibetan, Urdu, and Vietnamese. There are many opportunities for studying abroad, particularly in Korea and China. I checked the Macalester College website, the only two Asian languages taught at the school are Japanese and Chinese, not much variety....</p>
