The Program<br />
The Pacific Basin has emerged as the fastest<br />
growing economic region on the planet.<br />
As it has grown and become integrated, its<br />
cultural, demographic, economic, physical,<br />
political, and social patterns have undergone<br />
profound transformations. The destiny of<br />
this region will shape the 21st century. A<br />
person who understands these changes<br />
will be better prepared to face the Pacific<br />
Century.<br />
Students planning any career based in<br />
California or in the Pacific Basin will find this<br />
minor helpful.<br />
