Key Facts and Outcomes

The Bi-College Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures is housed at both Bryn Mawr College and Haverford Colleges.

Our mission is to foster learning about East Asia through rigorous language study and through deep and exploratory engagement with prominent themes and sources from East Asian countries.

Towards these ends, EALC offers Chinese and Japanese language through the advanced level and an array of courses on East Asian culture taught in English, including such topics as religion, visual culture, film, gender, history, and literature.

The East Asian Languages and Culture Studies major seeks to train students in language, guide them through a curriculum that situates East Asian culture within global discourses, and nurture their skills in critical thinking, research, and writing.
