USC College’s East Asian languages and cultures department provides students with a well-rounded education on East Asia by focusing on the study of the languages, linguistics, literature, thought and civilizations of China, Japan and Korea.
The department offers both graduate (Ph.D. and M.A.) and undergraduate (B.A.) programs. Undergraduate students typically concentrate on one East Asian language and culture, while also taking broader survey courses on East Asia as a cultural unit.
The B.A. programs strongly emphasize language for effective communication in East Asia. Undergraduates may elect to complete up to one year of their coursework in East Asia through the study-abroad programs administered by USC’s Office of Overseas Studies.
The graduate program offers students a well rounded interdisciplinary education on East Asia not only by focusing on the study of languages, linguistics, literature, thought and civilizations of China, Japan and Korea, but also by encouraging cross-registration with other departments to enhance theoretical and methodological skills.
