The Department of Asian Languages and Cultures (ALC) is a center for the exploration of the humanities of Asia, where students are invited to cross the boundaries of nations and of disciplines in order to develop two vital qualities: a deep knowledge and a broad global perspective.

The department offers instruction in the cultures of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Asia, and in many of the languages of Asia (including Bengali, Chinese, Filipino, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Javanese, Korean, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Thai, Tamil, Urdu, and Vietnamese).

Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP at https://lsa.umich.edu/asian/undergraduates/informationsessions.html

We hope to see you there!

Invited participants will take part in an admissions workshop, get acquainted with area studies resources such as the U-M Asia Library and International Institute, meet with world-renowned U-M faculty and current graduate students, and learn about fellowships and other resources offered by the Rackham Graduate School. During preview weekend, students will learn about:

what graduate school is like and how it all works
