Program Description
Understanding the languages and cultures of China and Japan is essential for anyone working globally today. At the master's level, the Department of East Asian Studies offers two types of degrees: an Area Master's and a General Master's. The Area M.A. allows you to focus on China or Japan as preparation for a doctorate. The General M.A. allows you to choose China or Japan or a combination of both, but is best if you do not intend to pursue a doctorate. Training in East Asian Studies prepares you for career opportunities in academia, teaching, business, law, journalism, and government and diplomatic service.
