Leeshai Lemish
 Lemish
finds this interdisciplinary program provides both breadth
and depth in his studies. He focuses on China, and is able
to study that nation through a wide variety of disciplines
in classes at Pomona and the other Claremont Colleges. "It
really gives you an opportunity to explore a lot of things,"
he says.
With a Freeman Foundation fellowship, Lemish spent a month
in Cambodia interviewing members of the booming Chinese
immigrant community there about why they left their native
land. He conducted nearly all of his interviews in Chinese,
without a translator. That research will become his senior
thesis at Pomona.

"I've learned so much in history, religion, art, and
literature from several interesting cultures. The faculty
members are also amazing as educators and as people, and are
not restricted to one school. I've had the opportunity to
gain so much and change so much from faculty on several
campuses … I feel that majoring in Asian Studies has made me
such a well-rounded person."
Brett Collins
 The Asian
Studies program is a great way to approach Asia through many
different disciplines, and is true to the liberal arts
philosophy of Pomona College. Non-majors as well as majors
can benefit from the enthusiasm of the faculty and the depth
and breadth of Asian Studies courses.
Julia Fields
In an Asian Studies major, you can pick both a geographic
area and subject of emphasis, which allows you to really
personalize your major. The department allows you chose how
narrow a focus in which you want to study, and that allows
the opportunity to discover the subjects that you’re most
passionate about within the general field of Asian Studies. |
