EAST ASIAN LANGUAGES AND CULTURES
EALC Major The EALC major allows students a great amount of flexibility to design their own course of study. Majors typically select one language and cultural area (Chinese, Japanese, or Korean) in which they do most of their work. For this reason, one frequently hears students on campus speaking about "majoring" in Japanese, Chinese, or Korean, though strictly speaking all these students are actually majoring in EALC. However, students are not restricted to focus their studies on one language or culture. For more information, click here:
