| The Department of East Asian Studies offers instruction
to students who wish to learn about the historic and contemporary cultures
of China, Japan and Korea, their interaction with one another, and their
encounters with Western cultures. The disciplines pursued in the Department
fall mostly within the humanities; additional courses on Asia are given
by other departments in the Faculty of Arts and Science (Anthropology,
Economics, Geography, History, Philosophy, Political Science, Sociology,
and others). The Department of East Asian Studies recommends such courses
to its students and will count many towards program requirements.
Courses offered by the Department of East Asian Studies fall into two
main categories:
- a) Courses that can be taken by students in other disciplines who
wish to broaden their horizons. These encompass a variety of topics
in the cultures of East Asia. They require no knowledge of East Asian
languages.
- b) Language and specialized courses for those in East Asian Studies
programs. A full range of courses is available in Chinese, Japanese
and Korean areas from the first year onwards, along with some instruction
in Vietnamese.
Students seeking counselling should first contact the Undergraduate
Coordinator, and in addition, all members of the Department provide
advice and information, and the Undergraduate Co-ordinator or Program
Administrator may direct students to them. In conjunction with Woodsworth
College, the Department offers courses during June and July at the University
of Hong Kong and in conjunction with the International Student Exchange
Office, offers opportunities for exchanges with universities in China,
Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Singapore. Students should also check the web
page of the Asian Institute and the Dr. David Chu Program in Asia-Pacific
Studies.

1. Enrolment in the program is open to students who have completed
four full courses or their equivalent. Students who were enrolled in
any EAS program prior to 2002-2003 may either switch to this new program,
or may follow the criteria in place for the year in which they enrolled.
2. Students with an adequate knowledge of Mandarin Chinese, Japanese
or Korean should consult the Undergraduate Coordinator about the possibility
of applying for a "language requirement waiver". This waiver allows
students to substitute non-language courses for the language courses
required by the program.
3. The department reserves the right to place students in the language
course appropriate to their skill level. See Timetable for information
on placement tests and interviews.
4. The department reserves the right to remove students from a language
course if, in the opinion of the instructor, the student has a higher
language competency than is appropriate for the course.
5. Students may count toward an EAS program those courses with East
Asian content offered by other departments provided they appear in the
lists below or they have the permission of the Undergraduate Coordinator
of EAS.
6. EAS102Y1 is a required course
for all levels of the program.
7. Beginning 2004-2005, students may register in new specialist and
major programs in Buddhism and Asian Religions sponsored jointly by
EAS and the Department for the Study of Religion. Details are available
on Departmental websites.
