CERTIFICATES
EAST ASIAN STUDIES CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS
The East Asian Studies Department and Program offer two programs for minoring in East Asian Studies. One option is the EAS Language and Culture certificate in Chinese, Japanese or Korean, which is offered by the EAS Department located in 211 Jones Hall. The alternative option is the East Asian Studies Program Certificate which is sponsored by the East Asian Studies Program in 219 Frist Campus Center.
Language and Culture Certificate
A student majoring in a department other than East Asian studies may earn a certificate in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean by completing three or more language courses beyond the second-year level and one or more East Asian studies or cognate courses in linguistics, religion, history, or anthropology. Students must also complete a substantial piece of independent research (20-30 pages) based at least in part on Chinese, Japanese, or Korean sources dealing with aspects of East Asia. Its topic has to be in the humanities. The paper could be either an original piece of research or a junior paper or senior thesis. If such a junior paper or senior thesis is written for another department, at least half of the work has to be on East Asia. East Asian studies majors concentrating on one language can earn a language and culture certificate in the other, but may not also earn an East Asian studies program certificate. Students interested in earning a certificate should apply at the department office by the end of their junior year. Students may not earn both East Asian studies department and East Asian studies program certificates.
