Baruch Japan Club: Study Abroad Seminar
This Thursday, April 3rd, Baruch Japan Club will be holding our annual Study Abroad Seminar! This event will be dedicated to educating anyone interested in studying abroad in Japan. Along with supplying information about how to go about applying through other schools (since Baruch doesn’t have its own study abroad program for Japan) we have also invited a couple students who have studied abroad in different areas of Japan to give presentations and speak about their process, many experiences, and what to expect while there. Food and drink will also be offered. Anyone who is interested is more than welcome to join us! This event will be held in our usual room VC 10-165 during club hours (12:45PM to 2:20PM). Feel free to invite friends too!

Ad Hoc Major At Baruch
Are you interested in majoring “Japan Studies” or “Asian Studies”? Or, do you want to major in Asian Literature or Culture? Baruch students can create an ad hoc major by combining courses from two or more departments. Please consult the following pages.
http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/wsas/student_resources/declare_major_ad_hoc.htm
To create your own major, your attendance to one of the ad hoc major workshop is necessary. Please consult the flyer attached in this message.
Ad Hoc Majors
Detailed information and requirements are here:
http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/wsas/student_resources/documents/adhoc2012.pdf
From Dr. Wendy Heyman:
The last two ad hoc workshops of the semester are 3/25 @ 5:30 and 5/5 @ 3pm. Both will be held in room 2-190. Attendance at one workshop is mandatory for any students wishing to create their own major.
This Arts & Sciences major is an opportunity to combine two or more arts and science department offerings, creating a unified major. Students may also integrate 9 business or public administration credits, into their major. Some of the majors (the students name the major themselves) have included: Law and the Underrepresented, International Relations, Technology and Communications, Religion and Culture, Critical thinking, and Graphic Communication and Digital Marketing.
At the workshop there will be a 3- person – panel, where alumni will discuss their career path subsequent to creating their own major and graduating from Baruch.
Faculty are welcome to attend.
Sincerely,
Wendy Heyman, PhD
