East Asian Languages and Cultures offers undergraduate programs in Chinese, Japanese and Korean studies, master's degrees in Chinese and Japanese studies and a Ph.D. with a concentration in either East Asian Linguistics or East Asian Literary and Cultural Studies. The department offers courses in East Asian languages, literatures, thought, religions and cultures. The department is distinct from the East Asian Studies Center, which is responsible for the administration of various programs related to East Asia.
Areas of concentration, leading either to the B.A. or M.A. degree, include one of the East Asian languages (Chinese, Japanese or Korean), applied linguistics, foreign language teaching, literature or area studies. Language competence and communication are stressed for all degrees. Directed readings are also offered.
