Notes:
30
This is a plan to finish both a BA and MAIA in five years. It assumes that students start their studies in a Fall semester.
31
During the BA period, students must incorporate all focus requirements into this plan.
32
Minimum 45 upper division (300+ course) credits are required.
33
Students may progress more quickly through their foreign language sequence by taking a placement exam and/or summer courses. Second language must be in one of the following: Arabic, Chinese, Filipino, Hindi,
34
Ilokano, Indonesian, Japanese, Khmer (Cambodian), Korean, Pali, Sanskrit, Thai, or Vietnamese.. ASAN majors may not take the JPN 111 series, which is oral communication.
35
Students apply to the BA /MAIA program in the form of early admission. This pathway anticipates that a student would apply to the Master's program during the second semester of their junior year, and in the first
36
semester of their senior year would be admitted to the Master's program and begin taking double-counted 600-level courses. To be eligible to apply for the program, students must pass one gateway class with a grade of
37
B or better, and maintain an overall GPA of 3.0. If a student fails to maintain a GPA of 3.0 or better after admission, they will be removed from the MAAS degree-granting portion of the program and allowed to
38
graduate with a BA degree upon completion of the BA requirements.
39
During the BA period, students must have a total of 15 credits in ASAN classes, which must include ASAN 201, 202, 310, and 312. ASAN 300+ must be an ASAN course. ASAN Elective 300+ can be any Asia-
40
related course offered in any department at UHM at the 300 or 400 level.
41
The courses in highlighted in bold green font (310, 312) are the two choices for the proposed gateway course. Students must pass at least one with a grade of "B" or better to gain admission to the pathway.
42
Courses in bold red font are those that are double-counted for both the BA and MAIA. The double-counted courses may be any three from the following: 626, 629, 630, 651, 654, 687, and 689.
