The Center’s mission can be summarized as making as much of Asia as accessible to as many of our students, faculty, and community members as possible. Some 120 faculty in 5 colleges and 20 departments across the CU Boulder campus are affiliated with CAS. The Center is also committed to expanding Asian area studies beyond its traditional home in the humanities and social science disciplines.
