East Asian Studies Interdisciplinary Concentration

The East Asian Studies program serves as a focal point for academic courses leading to an interdisciplinary concentration in East Asian Studies. Students are encouraged to participate in short-term, semester, or year-long study abroad programs in China or Japan.

The East Asian Studies program also brings greater international awareness to the campus and community by sponsoring guest lectures, cultural performances, high school outreach, a spring film series, and special events related to East Asia.

Students in any major may pursue an East Asian Studies Concentration in order to deepen their understanding of this important region of the world. The concentration is a combination of language, culture, and social science courses. Coordinator: R.W. Purdy (Department of History) rpurdy@jcu.edu.
