The Department offers undergraduate and graduate students a broad-ranging, cosmopolitan knowledge of the languages and cultures of China, Japan, and Korea. Undergraduates may follow a course of study leading to the A.B. degree or a language and culture certificate. Graduate students in the Department pursue the Ph.D.

The Program provides funding to graduates and undergraduates who wish to study abroad or continue their research. The Program also allows undergraduates majoring in traditional disciplines to earn a certificate in East Asian languages and culture.

East Asian Studies Program and Department sponsored public events held at Princeton University.
