Why choose the Asian Studies focus award at PCC?

The courses included in PCC’s Asian Studies focus award foster a rich understanding and appreciation of the cultures of Asia. The Asian Studies Focus Award shows prospective employers and transfer colleges a foundational focus on Asia. These studies encourage broader reflections about the nature of culture and how it shapes everything from world views to daily life. Above all, the focus award enables you to develop a multidimensional perspective on Asia, its many cultures, and your own life experience as well.
