Requirements for Honors Eligibility: 13 half-courses
1. Required Courses
A. Four half-courses in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Tibetan, Uyghur/Chaghatay, or Vietnamese, or an approved combination of courses involving two East Asian languages (see Basic Requirements, item 1a).
B. Four half-courses of tutorial or courses designated as equivalents.
C. Three to five half-courses selected from among East Asian or related subjects (see item 1c of Basic Requirements), including language courses beyond Basic Requirements. The number of courses required depends on the number of East Asian language half-courses that a student chooses, i.e., a student who chooses to count six half-courses of language requires three additional area courses, a student who chooses to count four language courses requires five area courses.
