Company: Education
Choose from a major or minor in Japanese Language and Culture, Chinese Language and Culture, or Asian Studies, and you'll learn about the cultural, political, economic, and historical forces that have shaped Asia. From ancient poetry to Weibo and anime, our coursework connects the past with the future. Our professors push beyond an “East” versus “West” binary and guide students to develop a transnational perspective with which to examine race, gender, language, and aesthetics. Learning how this region’s politics have shaped international relations will change your lens. Becoming proficient in these languages will open doors for you in the globe’s second- and third-largest economies.
Want to learn about the history of Confucian thought, gender politics in Asia, depictions of race in Japan, or new media in China? Our language classes provide essential communication skills, and our discussion seminars launch creative collaborations as students deepen their understanding of East Asian literature, film, linguistics, music, geography, art history, religion, politics, and anthropology.
