The Asian Studies minor allows students to integrate the philosophies, religions, languages, and political systems of Asian nations with their own Western traditions to form a deeper understanding fo the world and its peoples. It gives students new insights into their own culture and leads them to an appreciation of the complexities of the social and political conflicts in the world and particularly Asia today. Loyola has long had a diverse range of courses in Asian studies in its curriculum. These courses have been organized into a coherent minor.

An introductory Japanese language course is supplemented by intermediate and advanced Japanese language courses, Chinese, and Asian culture and history courses. In addition to courses offered by the Department of Languages and Cultures, the Department of Religious Studies, History, Philosophy, Sociology, and Political Science also have incorporated various aspects of Asian studies into their respective curriculums.
