The East Asian Studies Center promotes and coordinates teaching, research and development of academic programs concerning East Asia, regardless of discipline or school, on a university-wide basis. East Asia as used here means mainly China, Japan and Korea; it secondarily includes Southeast Asia, Central Asia and Siberia. Visiting scholars may also be named from among persons outside the university who wish to do research at USC and contribute to the goals of the center.
The center also advises students participating in the Year-in-Japan program of the California Private Universities and Colleges (CALPUC). Students may study in Japan for one year at either Waseda University in Tokyo or Nanzan University in Nagoya; a one-semester program is also available at Tokyo International University just outside Tokyo. Any undergraduate student of good academic standing is eligible to participate in these study-abroad programs, for full academic credit at USC.
USC financial aid is applicable to these study-abroad programs, and additional scholarship assistance is frequently offered through the center by local civic organizations.
The center also promotes and coordinates academic exchange with other institutions with which USC maintains cooperative relations in the United States and abroad. The center serves, for example, as headquarters for the USC/UCLA Joint East Asian Language and Area Studies National Resource Center. Graduate students with special interests in East Asia may take courses at UCLA through USC and may also work, where appropriate, with certain UCLA faculty. UCLA graduate students may similarly take courses at USC and work with USC faculty, for credit at UCLA in East Asian studies. The center facilitates cooperation and provides graduate fellowships to students at both institutions.
