What major / field would this fall under?

College Majors

<p>I'm interested in Asia. Specifically Japan and China (with language and culture). Love traveling and interacting with people form different cultures and religions. I'm also interested in being financially secure. Also like the idea of business. Now with those interests in mind, what the HECK should I major in?</p>

<p>And if nothing includes all those in one field, can someone suggest a few others?</p>

2

<p>Double major in International Business and Japanese/Chinese.</p>

3

<p>International studies, which is not very similar to political science or international relations. International studies a student typically have a concentration of learning about a area of the world. You may also be interested in studying economics or being admitted into a undergraduate buisness school.</p>

<p>There is a specific major called global studies. It’s a subdivision on International Relations. There are few undergrad programs that offer it but I’m interested in something similar called Middle Eastern studies. Japanese/ Chinese cultural/ political studies is known at South Asian study.</p>

<p>Hmmm. Interesting. Thanks so much for the suggestions! I appreciate it. Gave me something to think about.</p>

<p>There are several possible routes to accommodating your interests: Most likely, majoring or minoring in Economics or International Business + a major or minor in Chinese or Japanese or (East) Asian Studies. It might be difficult to do both Chinese and Japanese, especially to equivalent levels of proficiency. If you choose to focus on Chinese, check of the Language Flagship programs in this language:
<a href=“http://www.thelanguageflagship.org/chinese[/url]”>http://www.thelanguageflagship.org/chinese&lt;/a&gt;
These federally-funded programs are geared to the proficiency in the language, equivalent to 5 years of study, interspersed with study abroad, including an internship. I believe you have to complete a second major along with the language program. The program at Ohio State looks especially good. A program also started recently at Indiana which offers the possibility of many flexible options for coursework in the business school.</p>
