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 counseling should first contact the Undergraduate Co-ordinator,
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 2004-2005 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. Students may count toward an EAS program those courses with East
Asian content offered by other departments provided
they appear in the Department web site or they have the permission of the
Undergraduate Coordinator of EAS.
5. EAS102Y1 is a required course for
all levels of the program.
6. EAS209Y1 is a required course for
Specialist and Major programs.

NOTE on Language Requirements: The Major and Specialist programs require
a certain level of language proficiency. If
students can demonstrate during their placement interviews for language
courses that they have already attained this level,
they will be given a language requirement waiver and will be free to
complete their programs with EAS society-culture courses.
Although the language requirement for the Major and Specialist program
is 2nd and 3rd year level, respectively, it does not
prevent students from continuing to study language at higher levels.
However, only two credits for major and three credits for
specialist will be counted toward the fulfillment of the program regardless
of the numbers of language courses students may
take.
Specialist program:
EAS specialists are especially urged to explore the avenues for study abroad in East Asia offered by the Faculty of Arts and
Science Exchange Program.
