The Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS) coordinates University instructional, research, and special activities related to China, Japan, and Korea. Faculty and students who share a common interest in the study of East Asia are brought together by the Center from a broad range of academic concerns covering nearly every discipline and historical period. CEAS belongs to the Division of International Comparative and Area Studies in the School of Humanities and Sciences.

Courses offered by the Center for East Asian Studies are listed under the subject code EASTASN on the Stanford Bulletin's Explore Courses web site.

The EASTASN courses listed in the course catalog deal primarily with China, Japan, and/or Korea. Literature courses are listed with the course codes of CHINGEN, CHINLIT, JAPANGEN, and JAPANLIT in the course catalog. Many other theoretical and methodological courses within departments at Stanford are taught by faculty who are East Asian specialists; these courses often have a substantial East Asian component and a list of current applicable courses from outside departments may be found in the Master of Arts in East Asian Studies section of the Stanford Bulletin and the online course catalog. For courses in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean language instruction use the subject codes CHINLANG, JAPANLNG, and KORLANG. For courses in Classical Chinese look for the subject code CHINLIT.

MISSION OF THE UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM IN EAST ASIAN STUDIES

The mission of the undergraduate program in East Asian Studies is to expose students to a variety of perspectives in languages, literatures, and cultures stretching from Japan through Korea and China to the contiguous areas of the Central Asian land mass. Students in the major receive training in writing and communications in either Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, as well as course work in art, history, and the contemporary social science. The program requires that majors complete at least one quarter overseas in the country of focus. It further develops students into critical and global thinkers prepared for careers in government, business, social service or for graduate and professional schools.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The department expects undergraduate majors in the program to be able to demonstrate the following learning outcomes. These learning outcomes are used in evaluating students and the department's undergraduate program. Students are expected to demonstrate:

effective and nuanced skills interpreting primary and secondary source materials.
in their own work a good grasp of the course material and methodologies in East Asian studies.
analytical writing skills and close reading skills.
effective oral communication skills.

Undergraduate Programs in East Asian Studies

Undergraduates interested in East Asia can become involved by taking courses in the course codes listed above, joining the East Asian Studies Theme House, or earning a Minor or Bachelor of Arts degree in East Asian Studies. The Bing Overseas Study Program also offers study abroad opportunities and internships in East Asia. Students should consult the "Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures" section of this bulletin for more information. Undergraduates can also obtain a coterminal M.A. degree in East Asian Studies while concurrently working on their undergraduate major. For language study, CEAS provides undergraduate fellowships for language study in China, Japan, or Korea; students must simultaneously apply to a pre-approved language program abroad. Applications are due in February each year. Specific deadlines and application information can be found on the CEAS web site.

Graduate Programs in East Asian Studies

MASTER'S PROGRAMS

The M.A. program in East Asian Studies is designed both for students who plan to complete a Ph.D. but who have not yet decided on the particular discipline in which they prefer to work, and for students who wish to gain a strong background in East Asian Studies in connection with a career in non-academic fields such as business, law, education, journalism, or government service. Students interested in pursuing professional careers are encouraged to plan for additional training through internships or graduate professional programs, in conjunction with obtaining an M.A. in East Asian Studies.

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.
