1. Program (Korea-related degree offered) : Asian Studies Minor
   • Programs Remarks - What makes Asian Studies unique at Marquette is the deep connection between the Jesuit tradition and Asia. Jesuits were among the first Europeans to visit, and write about Asia. Francis Xavier himself proselytized in Japan during the sixteenth century, and Jesuits, such as the famous Mateo Ricci, were active in the Chinese court. This rich connection continues to this day. The Superior General of the Society of Jesus, Adolfo Nicolás, studied at Sophia University in Tokyo, where he was ordained and worked extensively throughout East and Southeast Asia.
