East Asian Studies Major and Minor
Emory's East Asian Studies Program (EASP) offers courses ranging from introductory concepts to the advanced, as well as a major and a minor. In addition to complete four-year sequences of modern Chinese and Japanese language, and Elementary Korean, Emory offers more than 40 courses on diverse aspects of East Asian studies and numerous study abroad opportunities.
While many undergraduates majors and minors are located in departments organized around a single discipline (such as Chemistry or History), the East Asian Studies Program brings together faculty from many departments who focus on the same world area, East Asia.
Please contact Professor Cheryl Crowley, Director of Undergraduate Studies, or Kim Palumbarit Program Coordinator to declare a major or minor in East Asian Studies.
