DOCTORAL PROGRAMS

Stanford does not offer a Ph.D. in East Asian Studies. However, there are more than 100 doctoral students with a specialization on China, Korea, or Japan within various departments and schools of the University. The departments that offer an East Asian concentration are: Anthropology, Art and Art History, Asian Languages, Comparative Literature, History, Linguistics, Political Science, Religious Studies, and Sociology. It is also possible to specialize in East Asia within some of the doctoral programs of the professional schools of Business, Education, and Law. Inquiries should be directed to the individual department or school concerned.

POSTDOCTORAL PROGRAMS

The Center for East Asian Studies offers two postdoctoral fellowships in Chinese Studies each year. Postdoctoral fellowships in Japanese Studies are available from the Freeman-Spogli Institute of International Studies. The Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center has a postdoctoral program in contemporary Korean Studies.

FINANCIAL AID

Students in graduate programs who plan to do work in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean language, and area studies courses, may be eligible for Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships and are encouraged to apply for them at the time of application to Stanford. Recipients of FLAS fellowships must be American citizens or permanent residents. For further information, see http://ceas.stanford.edu.
