More than 1.5 billion people — about 22 percent of the world's population — live in geographic East Asia; that is about twice the population of Europe.
Welcome
East Asian Studies is an interdisciplinary program that seeks to give the student broad yet intimate knowledge of the history, politics, economics, art and language of the major areas of East Asia.
It enables students to concentrate in a single program while at the same time enlarging their knowledge of East Asian civilization by taking related courses in other disciplines. At the crux of the program is the language requirement that provides the basis for postgraduate study or careers dealing with East Asia.
