Program of Study

The East Asian Studies Program requires 42 hours for the major. Most students begin their studies with History 154,155 and 157, which survey the civilizations of China and Japan from ancient times to the present. See "Courses" for a list of course that may be applied toward the major.

Many students also include courses in Chinese or Japanese - or both - in their program of study, since language is an essential element in the serious study of both the traditional cultures and the contemporary problems of East Asia. Related courses that may be counted toward the 42-hour major requirement are listed under "Courses" on the menu.

All students studying Chinese or Japanese are strongly encouraged to participate in the study abroad programs in China, Taiwan, or Japan, through the Council on International Educational Exchange. Details can be obtained from the Overseas Study Office.
