Overview

Key Features

In addition to at least three years of an East Asian language, students take courses in Anthropology, Art History and Archaeology, Film and Media Studies, History, Literature, and Religious Studies. Students in the East Asian Studies Major at Washington University in St. Louis gain a command of knowledge of two countries of East Asia in terms of language, literature, culture, history, and religion. Students are encouraged to engage with the politics of knowledge, that is, how East Asia was configured as a region and how it is studied today.

Many of our majors study abroad, for a summer, a semester, or a year. Graduates in East Asian Studies have gone on to a range of careers, in diplomacy, finance, public health, the arts, and academia.
