 **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](/primary-concentration-non-honors), 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](/primary-concentration-non-honors)), including language courses beyond [Basic Requirements](/primary-concentration-non-honors). 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.

 **2. Tutorials**

 Same as [Basic Requirements](/primary-concentration-non-honors).

 Plus:

 *Senior year:* East Asian Studies 99 (two terms), preparation of thesis, required. Letter-graded. The senior tutorial consists of weekly meetings with the graduate student advisor and regular (usually bi-weekly) meetings with the faculty advisor. There are also periodic meetings with other seniors writing theses. EAS 99 counts towards course requirements.

 **3. Thesis:**

 Required of all honors candidates.

 **4. General Examination:**

 None

 **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. A content course taught in an East Asian language may also count as a junior tutorial replacement course with the written permission of the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
