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 is part of 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 ExploreCourses web site.
The EASTASN courses listed on ExploreCourses deal primarily with China, Japan, and/or Korea. Literature courses are listed with the subject codes of CHINGEN, CHINLIT, JAPANGEN, and JAPANLIT on ExploreCourses. 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 this bulletin. For courses in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean language instruction use the subject codes CHINLANG, JAPANLNG, and KORLANG. For courses in Classical Chinese, search under the subject code CHINLIT.
Undergraduate Programs in East Asian Studies
Undergraduates interested in East Asia can become involved by attending CEAS events, taking courses in the subject codes listed above, or earning a Minor or Bachelor of Arts degree in East Asian Studies. These undergraduate degrees in East Asian Studies are now administered by the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures. The Bing Overseas Study Program also offers study abroad opportunities and internships in East Asia.
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. Deadlines and application information can be found on the CEAS web site. In addition, undergraduates can obtain a coterminal M.A. degree in East Asian Studies while concurrently working on their undergraduate major by applying during the regular admissions cycle no later than their senior year.
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 background in East Asian Studies in connection with a career in nonacademic 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, Comparative Literature, Earth Sciences, East Asian Languages and Cultures, Economics, Education, History, Human Biology, Linguistics, Music, 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 postdoctoral fellowships in Chinese Studies each year. Postdoctoral fellowships in other areas are also available from the Freeman-Spogli Institute of International Studies and the Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center.
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/students/fellowships.php.
