Minor

Six courses including two language courses in Japanese or Chinese beyond the 100-level and at least four other East Asian courses, one of which could be an advanced language course. Students already proficient in Chinese or Japanese through the 232-level must take, as at least one of their six courses, a language course appropriate to level of proficiency. In addition, and for all students, one of the six courses should be either EASN 101 or a course that includes the country that is not the focus of language study.

Honors in the Major

Any consideration for Honors in East Asian Studies takes GPA within the major and overall GPA into account but is neither precluded nor guaranteed by them. Oral presentations, fielding of questions, and the exhibition of an overall mastery of the research subject and its context comprise the major criteria for the awarding of Honors. On the basis of a composite of these factors, the EASN faculty may decide to award honors to deserving students. Announcements of Honors will occur at Commencement exercises.
