A doctoral student from other departments/programs wishing to pursue an EAS minor must take a minimum of 9 units from EAS course offerings if the student is pursuing a single minor, and 6 units if the student is pursuing an EAS portion of a double minor (the other minor with another department/proram may have other requirements.) In either case the student must take a written exam afterward. Course selections must be approved in consultation with the minor adviser.
The Department of East Asian Studies is dedicated to the study of the cultures and languages of China and Japan. The rich cultural heritages of the region are covered by courses in literature, history, society, religion and thought, linguistics and other aspects of culture.
EAS offers a wide range of courses in Chinese and Japanese language. Understanding the languages and cultures of these two nations—the second (China) and third (Japan) largest economies in the world—is essential for anyone working globally today.
EAS offers programs leading to the Master of Arts (M.A.), and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees with a major in East Asian Studies.
