nine courses distributed as follows: (1) four courses in one Asian
language, normally two years of Chinese, Japanese, or Korean; (2) three
courses in Asian studies, specifically 01:098:321,322, and 444 (when
these three specific courses in Asian studies are not offered, other
courses from the following approved list of courses may be
substituted); (3) two courses from the list given below, selected from
two different discipline areas (e.g., humanities, social sciences,
ecological sciences); and (4) a substantial paper written in 01:098:444
