Middlesex Community College

Asian Studies Development Program

For almost three decades Middlesex has been part of an international initiative that promotes Asian Studies in the United States and Asia. This initiative in collaboration with the Asian Studies Development Program (ASDP), based at the East-West Center (EWC) and the University of Hawaii, Honolulu, has a mission  to provide teaching faculty with resources for infusing critically-framed and competently-delivered Asian studies content into undergraduate humanities and social sciences courses, and to provide ongoing support for institutionally-relevant Asian studies program development. The ASDP network now includes more than 500 institutions, 50 universities in Asia, 10 universities in Latin America, and 17 schools designated as regional centers.

As ASDP's first Regional Center, MCC collaborates with ASDP-EWC through grants, institutes, field studies, workshops, and conferences.
