Mission
The Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS) supports teaching and research on East Asia-related topics across all disciplines; disseminates knowledge about East Asia through projects of local, regional, national, and international scope; and serves as the intellectual gathering point for a collaborative and innovative community of scholars and students of East Asia. CEAS works with all schools, departments, research centers, and student groups to facilitate and enhance all aspects of East Asia-related research, teaching, outreach and exchange across the Stanford campus.
CEAS is part of Stanford Global Studies in the School of Humanities and Sciences. As an East Asia National Resource Center (NRC), supported by the U.S. Department of Education, CEAS serves to strengthen access to and training in the major languages of East Asia, and to broaden East Asia area studies training across all disciplines.
Many other theoretical and methodological courses within various 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 on the "Approved Courses" tab of this bulletin.
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 administered by the Department of East Asian Cultures and Languages. Stanford Global Studies offers internship opportunities in East Asia, and the Bing Overseas Study Program offers study abroad opportunities 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 website. 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 Program
Stanford's interdisciplinary 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. The program permits the student to construct a course of study suited to individual intellectual interests and career needs, and is typically completed in two years; the program may be completed within one year, depending on the course load taken and the amount of foreign language training required. Advanced language students or students who are native speakers of Chinese, Japanese, or Korean can potentially complete the program within one year. Students interested in pursuing professional careers are encouraged to plan for additional training through internships or additional graduate professional programs, in conjunction with obtaining an M.A. in East Asian Studies.
The M.A. program allows students a great deal of flexibility in combining language training, interdisciplinary area studies, and a disciplinary concentration. Students are required to demonstrate third year level proficiency in Chinese, Korean or Japanese, according to their research-area focus (either through coursework at Stanford or testing at the 4th year or higher in Stanford language-placement exams), to enroll in a 1 unit core course in East Asian Studies in autumn quarter of the first year, and to complete at least nine additional graduate-level area studies courses, one of which must be chosen from a prescribed list of courses offered in winter quarter of the first year. Of the nine required content courses, three must be in a single department or in the same thematic focus. An M.A. thesis, usually an expansion of a paper written for a graduate seminar or colloquium, is required.
Learning Outcomes
The purpose of the master's program is to further develop specialized knowledge and skills in East Asian Studies, and to prepare students for a professional career or doctoral studies. This is achieved through the completion of East Asia content courses, language training as necessary, and experience with independent research.
Postdoctoral Programs
The Center for East Asian Studies offers a postdoctoral fellowship in Chinese Studies each year. Postdoctoral fellowships in other areas are available from campus units including but not limited to the Freeman-Spogli Institute for International Studies, the Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center, and the Stanford Humanities Center.
Financial Aid
CEAS offers various types of funding for new and continuing students. See the fellowships page of the CEAS web site for the most up-to-date offerings.
Master of Arts in East Asian Studies
University requirements for the master's degree are described in the "Graduate Degrees" section of this bulletin.
The East Asian Studies master's degree program allows a great deal of flexibility in combining language training, interdisciplinary area studies, and a disciplinary concentration. The Director of the Center assigns preliminary faculty advisers to all students. Members of the staff and faculty are available for academic and career planning. The M.A. program is typically completed in two years, but students who meet the language requirement upon entry and who complete a rigorous selection of courses may be able to graduate in as little as three quarters. Students are urged to complete the degree requirements within that first year (3 quarters) unless their goals and background dictate otherwise.
Applicants must submit scores for the General Test of the Graduate Record Examination, official transcripts and a writing sample along with their online application. Foreign applicants are also required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Applications for admission and financial aid should be made online; see the Graduate Admissions web site. The deadline for submitting applications for the 2018-19 academic year is December 5, 2017.
Coterminal Master's Program in East Asian Studies
The center admits a limited number of Stanford undergraduates to work toward a coterminal M.A. degree in East Asian Studies. Applications are accepted once a year during the regular CEAS M.A. application cycle. The deadline for the 2018-19 academic year is December 5, 2017. Students may apply after completing 120 units, but no later than the quarter prior to the expected completion of the undergraduate degree. Applicants are expected to meet the same standards as those seeking admission to the M.A. program, and they must submit the following via the online coterminal application:
- a completed Application for Admission to Coterminal Masters’ Program
- a written statement of purpose
- an unofficial Stanford transcript
- three letters of recommendation, at least two of which should be from members of the department of concentration
- first 15 pages of a representative writing sample (such as a seminar paper, term paper, honors thesis, or journal article.)
- copy of scores from the General Test of the Graduate Record Exam (official score should be sent to Stanford's school code 4704)
- a list of courses the applicant intends to take to fulfill degree requirements.
Coterm applications are reviewed along with peer applications by the M.A. Admissions Committee of the Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS).
Students must meet all requirements for both B.A. and M.A. degrees. They must complete a total of 15 full-time quarters or the equivalent, or three full quarters after completing 180 units for a total of 226 units. Coterms are not eligible for University financial aid, but are eligible to apply for Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) and other fellowships administered by CEAS.
University Coterminal Requirements
Coterminal master’s degree candidates are expected to complete all master’s degree requirements as described in this bulletin. University requirements for the coterminal master’s degree are described in the “Coterminal Master’s Program” section. University requirements for the master’s degree are described in the "Graduate Degrees" section of this bulletin.
After accepting admission to this coterminal master’s degree program, students may request transfer of courses from the undergraduate to the graduate career to satisfy requirements for the master’s degree. Transfer of courses to the graduate career requires review and approval of both the undergraduate and graduate programs on a case by case basis.
In this master’s program, courses taken three quarters prior to the first graduate quarter, or later, are eligible for consideration for transfer to the graduate career. No courses taken prior to the first quarter of the sophomore year may be used to meet master’s degree requirements.
Course transfers are not possible after the bachelor’s degree has been conferred.
The University requires that the graduate adviser be assigned in the student’s first graduate quarter even though the undergraduate career may still be open. The University also requires that the Master’s Degree Program Proposal be completed by the student and approved by the department by the end of the student’s first graduate quarter.
Degree Requirements
Language Requirement
Students must complete the equivalent of Stanford's first three full years of language training in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. Other East Asian languages may be accepted by petition. Students entering the program without any language preparation should complete first- and second-year Chinese, Japanese, or Korean within the first year of residence at Stanford if they intend to graduate within two years (this would necessitate completing a summer language program). All language courses taken at Stanford used toward fulfilling the language requirement must be for letter grades and completed with a grade of 'B' or higher. Conversation classes cannot be used for meeting this requirement, and units from the language courses numbered 1-99 do not count toward the 46 units required for the degree. Language courses numbered 100 and above can be used toward meeting the 46 units minimum for the degree, but cannot be used toward fulfilling the content courses requirement unless the language course is at the fourth-year level or above, and the student is specializing in literature.
The language requirement may be satisfied in part or in full by placing into an appropriate Stanford language class through the language proficiency exam given by the Language Center. Students who fulfill this minimum three-year language requirement before completing other requirements are encouraged to continue language study, or take courses in which Chinese, Japanese, or Korean are used, for the duration of the program.
The language used to meet the language proficiency requirement should match the student's country/region of focus.
Students in the M.A. program are also eligible to apply for the Inter-University language programs in Beijing and Yokohama. Work completed in one of these programs may be counted toward the M.A. degree's language requirement if students take and pass the corresponding Stanford language proficiency exam following the program.
Language courses are listed under the following subject codes on the Stanford Bulletin's ExploreCourses web site: CHINLANG, JAPANLNG, and KORLANG.
M.A. Thesis Requirement
A master's thesis, representing a substantial piece of original research, should be filed with the center's program office as part of the graduation requirements. With the adviser's approval, the master's thesis requirement may be satisfied by expanding a research paper written for an advanced course, and should have a minimum of 10,000 words in the main body of the thesis (excluding references, citations, appendices, etc.). The M.A. thesis is due at noon on the last day of classes, of the quarter in which the student applies to graduate; see the Academic Calendar for specific dates.
Students are also required to attend, at a minimum, one CEAS Thesis Workshop at least one quarter prior to the quarter in which the student applies to graduate. CEAS Thesis Workshops are offered biannually.
Area Studies and Unit Requirements
Students must complete a minimum total of 46 units for the degree at Stanford, comprised of:
- 1-unit core course, EASTASN 330 Core Seminar: Issues and Approaches in East Asian Studies
- At least 9 approved content courses, at least 30 units of which must be at or above the 200 level (at or above 300 level for HISTORY courses) and meeting the following criteria:
- Are on the approved East Asian Studies course list (see Approved Courses tab), or have been approved by petition (maximum 3 petitions)
- Taken for a letter grade and completed with a 'B' or higher ('P' or higher in GSB courses and Law courses)
- Taken for 3 units or more
- Do not count as part of the language requirement (language courses beyond third-year level are accepted for students specializing in literature)
- At least 3 of the 9 courses must be either in the same department or within the same thematic focus across several departments (see sample themes below).
- 1 of the 9 required courses must be selected form a prescribed list of courses in winter quarter of the first year.
- Additional courses as necessary to reach the minimum 46 units for the degree meeting the following criteria:
- Taken for a letter grade
- At least level 100 or above (above 200 for HISTORY courses)
- Must be an academic content course - such as a lecture, seminar, or colloquium (no activity courses, EFS language classes, etc.). Language classes are okay if the course number is above level 100 and it is taken for a letter grade.
- The cumulative grade point average (GPA) for all courses must be 3.0 or higher; grades for the 9 content courses must be a 'B' or higher.

Course Petitions and Directed Reading
Some theory-oriented or methodological courses may be used to meet part of the 9 courses requirements, provided that they are demonstrably useful for understanding East Asian problems. A course petition and syllabus must be submitted no later than the end of the second week of the quarter in which the course is offered. Students are limited to 3 petitions total. Credit toward the course requirements is not given for courses taken before entering the M.A. program, however students may take courses for exchange credit at the University of California, Berkeley, with the approval of their adviser and the Office of the University Registrar.
Students may choose to enroll in a directed reading course with a faculty member if the current course offerings do not meet a particular research or study need. Directed reading courses are independent study projects a student may undertake with a relevant Stanford faculty member. Once the student has found a faculty member to support his or her studies, the student must inform the Student Services Coordinator immediately so that the appropriate section can be added for EASTASN 300 Graduate Directed Reading. The limitations for directed reading units are:
- A maximum of 5 units may apply towards the 46-unit degree requirement.
- If applying the units to the 9 courses requirement, the student must submit a detailed syllabus approved by their directed reading instructor prior to enrolling in the course and the course must be taken for at least 3 units.
- It must be taken for a letter grade.
Joint and Dual Degree Programs in East Asian Studies
East Asian Studies and Law
This joint degree program grants an M.A. degree in East Asian Studies and a Doctor of Jurisprudence (J.D.) degree. It is designed to train students interested in a career in teaching, research, or the practice of law related to East Asian legal affairs. Students must apply separately to the East Asian Studies M.A. program and to the Stanford School of Law and be accepted by both. Completing this combined course of study requires approximately four academic years, depending on the student's background and level of training in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. Up to 45 units of approved courses may be counted towards both degrees. For more information, see the "Joint Degree Programs" section of this bulletin and the Stanford Law School's web site. Students who have been accepted by both programs should consult with the departments to determine which courses can be double-counted.
East Asian Studies and Education
This dual degree program grants an M.A. degree in East Asian Studies and a secondary school teaching credential in social studies. To be eligible for this program, students should apply to the M.A. program in East Asian Studies and then apply to the Stanford Teacher Education Program during the first year at Stanford. Completing the dual program requires at least two years, including one summer session when beginning the education component of the program. Admissions processes for both programs are completely independent of one another and units from courses can only be applied to one degree or the other, not both.
East Asian Studies and Business
This dual degree program grants an M.A. degree in East Asian Studies and a Master of Business Administration degree. Students must apply separately to the East Asian Studies M.A. program and the Graduate School of Business and be accepted by both. Completing this combined course of study requires approximately three academic years (perhaps including summer sessions), depending on the student's background and level of training in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean language. Admissions processes for both programs are completely independent of each other and units from courses can only be applied to one degree or the other, not both.

Approved Content Courses
Because East Asian Studies is an interdisciplinary major, the majority of the courses that apply toward the degree are listed under other departments. In addition to courses listed under the EASTASN subject code, students should check the list below, as well as on the Stanford Bulletin's ExploreCourses site for courses in other departments that will meet the degree requirements for East Asian Studies; such departments include (but are not limited to) Anthropology, East Asian Languages and Cultures, History, Political Science, Religious Studies, and Sociology. Not all courses offered by other departments that have East Asia content may be listed below or on the CEAS web site. If there is a course not listed below that has East Asia content, check with the Center for East Asian Studies staff to verify whether or not it can be used to fulfill the degree requirements.
The following course list represents courses that may, with the adviser's approval, be used to fulfill degree requirements (please see the Law School or GSB web sites for instructions on how to enroll in their courses):

Courses
EASTASN 24. Traditional Japan through Ordinary Eyes: The Social and Cultural History of Early Modern Japan. 3-5 Units.
In the Tokugawa period (1603-1868), political power was restricted to members of the ruling class- the samurai, whose public possession of sword and surname distinguished them from the rest of the society. Yet the samurai accounted for only six percent of the population. How successful was the ruling class in exerting control over its subjects, and how did the people respond? How were power relations in the society determined- between ordinary people and elites, women and men, center and periphery? To what extent and in what way did the common people contribute to shape the cultural and social life in early modern Japan? By examining a variety of source materials written by commoners, including popular novels, peasant petitions, folktales, tourist maps, and woodblock prints, and by locating the cases discussed on historical maps, we will grapple with these questions. In the map/image exercise, we will see and touch real materials courtesy of the East Asia Library. In so doing, we will illuminate the world of ordinary people in Japan before the modern westernization through their own eyes.

EASTASN 94. The Rise of China in World Affairs. 3-5 Units.
This course examines the impact and implications of the rise of China in contemporary world politics from a historical and international relations perspective. It reviews China's halting progress into the international system, sketches the evolution of PRC foreign policy since 1949, and analyzes China's developmental priorities and domestic political context as they figure into Beijing's interactions with the world. It sketches American policy toward the PRC, and it assesses alternative approaches to dealing with China on such issues as arms and nuclear proliferation, regional security arrangements, international trade and investment, human rights, environmental problems, and the Taiwan and Tibet questions.

EASTASN 95. Korean Economy and Business: Theory, Practice, and Strategic Implications. 3 Units.
This course addresses the key factors behind Korea's accelerated growth over the past 50 years. Existing Western theories cannot fully explain Korea's economic and business development, because these theories were established under a different political, economic, and social system. This course focuses on the fundamental driving forces behind Korea's success, many of which continue to be neglected in ongoing studies. This course aims to introduce a new framework that presents strategic implications that are more appropriate for Korea; review the fundamental background of Korea's growth in detail and apply this new framework to better explain Korea's success; and evaluate Korea as a case study to provide useful guidelines for other countries.

EASTASN 97. The International Relations of Asia since World War II. 3-5 Units.
Asian international relations since World War II were dominated by the efforts of the newly independent nation-states of Asia, almost all of which had been colonies before the war, to establish and maintain sovereignty in a context of American and Soviet competition for influence in the region. This course traces the major developments of the period, including the Chinese civil war, the U.S. occupation of Japan, the division of Korea and the Korean War, the South and Southeast Asian independence struggles, the American and Soviet alliance systems, the Vietnam War, the strategic realignments that led to the end of the Cold War in Asia, the emergence of Central Asia, and the legacy of issues that the period has posed for the region today.

EASTASN 117. Health and Healthcare Systems in East Asia. 3-5 Units.
China, Japan, and both Koreas. Healthcare economics as applied to East Asian health policy, including economic development, population aging, infectious disease outbreaks (SARS, avian flu), social health insurance, health service delivery, payment incentives, competition, workforce policy, pharmaceutical industry, and regulation. No prior knowledge of economics or healthcare required.
Same as: EASTASN 217
EASTASN 120E. East Asian Internets. 4 Units.
This course examines the social, cultural, aesthetic, and political dimensions of internet culture in China, Japan, and the two Koreas.

Same as: EASTASN 220E
EASTASN 143. Taiwan's Democratic Evolution. 3-5 Units.
This course is an introduction to the contemporary politics of Taiwan. Once a poor, insecure autocracy, today Taiwan has been transformed into a prosperous and stable liberal democracy, albeit one whose long-term security remains imperiled by the rising power of the People's Republic of China. We will draw on concepts and theories from political science to explore distinct aspects of this ongoing political evolution, including the transition to and consolidation of democracy, origins and trajectory of economic and social development, sources of Taiwanese nationalism, security of the Taiwanese state and its relationship to the PRC and the United States, parties and elections, and public policy processes and challenges.
Same as: EASTASN 243
EASTASN 151. Innovation-Based Economic Growth: Silicon Valley and Japan. 4 Units.
Innovation is essential for the growth of a matured economy. An important reason for Japan's economic stagnation over the past two decades was its failure to transform its economic system from one suited for catch-up growth to one that supports innovation-based economic growth. This course examines the institutional factors that support innovation-based economic growth and explores policies that may encourage innovation-based growth in Japan. The course is a part of a bigger policy implementation project that aims to examine the institutional foundations of innovation-based economic growth, to suggest government policies that encourage innovation-based growth in Japan, and to help implement such policies. The central part of the course will be several group research projects conducted by the students. Each student research project evaluates a concrete innovation policy idea. Each student research group is to report the findings to the class and prepare the final paper.
Same as: EASTASN 251, IPS 225
EASTASN 153. Japan & the World: Innovation, Economic Growth, Globalization, and Int'l Security Challenges. 3-5 Units.
This course introduces students to the economy, politics, and international relations of contemporary Japan. The course puts a particular emphasis on several emerging issues in Japan including innovation and economic dynamism, Japan's contributions to international peace and cooperation, and Japan's response to international economic and geopolitical challenges. The course will invite several guest instructors, each of whom is an expert on at least one of the issues that Japan faces today, to give lectures in addition to the main instructors. The guest lecturers will also be available outside of the classroom for further discussion during their stays at Stanford.

EASTASN 162. Seminar on the Evolution of the Modern Chinese State, 1550-Present. 3-5 Units.
This seminar will assess the evolving response of the late imperial, early Republican, Nanjing Republic, and the PRC regimes in response to China's changing international setting, to successive revolutions in warfare, and to fundamental economic, social and demographic trends domestically from the 16th century to present. It will assess the capacities of each successive Chinese state to extract resources from society and economy and to mobilize people behind national purposes, to elaborate centralized institutions to pursue national priorities, to marshal military forces for national defense and police forces to sustain domestic order, and to generate popular identities loyal to national authority.

EASTASN 189K. Higher Education and Development in Korea. 3 Units.
As the Republic of Korea (i.e. Korea) faces new challenges of economic stagnation, the role of higher education has become a major focus of policy attention in recent decades. In particular, in the context of a shrinking working-age population and declining birth rates, the globalization of higher education in Korea has been viewed as a viable solution to attracting skilled labor, questioning long-held cultural beliefs and practices and moving beyond the dominant idea of South Korea as an ethnically "homogenous" country. How has Korea globalized its higher education sector in recent decades? How has the internal sociology of Korean universities changed as a result and what contradictions and challenges remain? How can higher education reform affect Korea's future development? This course examines the role of globalization of higher education in Korea and its broader implications for social and cultural change in Korea and Asia. May be repeat for credit.
