the auw curriculum

The University's curriculum is interdisciplinary and cross-cultural. Faculty and staff will seek to engage students in applying theoretical knowledge to real world problems in the classroom, through campus activities and in service and experiential learning contexts.

 

Curriculum

The Asian University for Women will offer a rigorous academic curriculum anchored in the liberal arts and sciences to provide students with a solid intellectual foundation in three required curricular divisions: humanities/arts, social sciences, and natural sciences.

Students will typically be required to enroll in 4 courses per term, with each course earning 1 unit towards a degree. A minimum of 32 units are required for the bachelor's degree, and 40 units for the master’s degree in addition to the specific requirements of each program.

 At the beginning of the second year, students will declare a major concentration that will require a minimum of 12 units.  Students will work closely with their advisors to define a strong pathway through their curriculum to prepare for entry into a graduate program.

 Students who are planning to complete both the bachelor’s and master’s degree will be encouraged to choose electives that will serve as prerequisites for their chosen graduate program.
