Basic Requirements: 9 half-courses
1. Sophomore Tutorial:
EASTD 97ab (offered every spring semester)
2. Language Instruction:
Six semesters of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Tibetan, Uyghur/Chaghatay, or Vietnamese; or an approved combination of courses in two of these languages.
Note: Because this requirement is met by attaining an approved level of competence, it is possible to satisfy the requirement in part by work done or experience gained elsewhere. Students who are required to take less than six semesters of language will be required to take up to six half-courses in related work.
3. Area Courses:
Two courses selected from the EAS-eligible area course list (or another course approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies). One of these must be a historical survey course. It is recommended that at least one area course be an upper-level seminar. This requirement may double-count towards your general education requirements.
4. Senior Thesis:
Required. Joint and secondary concentration is for honors candidates only. Students doing a secondary concentration in EAS will take the senior tutorial of their primary concentration. They are also expected to participate in several seminars throughout the academic year, and join the EAS thesis writers' colloquium in February. Please note that 99 (thesis writing) is taken in the primary concentration.
Other Information:
Courses counted for concentration credit may not be taken Pass/Fail, with the exception of Freshman Seminars or by special petition. The sophomore tutorial may not be taken Pass/Fail. General Education classes on East Asia can be counted for concentration credit. Content courses taught in an East Asian language can count toward the language or area course requirement.
