The Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures offers multiple pathways for students to develop their knowledge of the vibrant cultures of China, Japan and Korea. While developing linguistic and cultural fluency through our language, literature and culture courses, students will engage with a diverse array of genres from traditional poetry to popular fiction and will explore issues such as translation, identity and gender within traditional and modern contexts. Students can choose to further expand their knowledge of East Asia through courses in anthropology, art history, economics, government, history, music, religion and world literatures.
Within the major, students can choose tracks in either Chinese, Japanese or East Asian studies and take a combination of language, literature, culture or other classes in the humanities and social sciences. The minor allows for concentrations in Chinese, Japanese, Korean or East Asian studies. We also encourage students to take advantage of our outstanding study abroad programs, where they accelerate their language studies and learn firsthand about contemporary Chinese, Japanese or Korean society and culture.
