Undergraduate Program

Undergraduate Program
The Department of East Asian Studies provides undergraduate concentrators with a broad-ranging, cosmopolital knowledge of the languages and cultures of China, Japan, and Korea.  Concentrators are expected to achieve proficiency in one East Asian language through the third-year level, and take eight departmental courses.  The departmentals must include the junior seminar, at least one course on pre-modern East Asia, any combination of two of the four courses HIS/EAS 207 - 208 and HUM/EAS/COM 233 - 234, and at least one course covering material outside of a student's primary area of language specialization. A single course may not be used to satisfy two requirements.  A minimum of six of the eight departmentals may be chosen from the EAS-prefixed courses, cognate courses, language courses at or above the 300 level (after the three-year proficiency requirement is fulfilled), or any language courses in a second East Asian language. Students entering the department with some degree of language proficiency may place out of all or part of the language requirement but still need to fulfill a minimum of eight departmentals.
