East Asian Studies (IGEA) consists of the interdisciplinary study of the civilizations of East Asia, that is, China and Japan as well as Korea and Vietnam. On the one hand, as a cohesive region, East Asia evinces considerable cultural continuity. On the other hand, the various modern nation-states that comprise East Asia differ in language, literature, art, history, philosophy, religion, politics, economics, and social institutions.

As an East Asian Studies major, you will be exposed intensively to the traditions of your country of focus (China or Japan) as well as to its contemporary challenges confronted within a regional and global context. You will find your in-depth preparatory training in the principal language (Chinese or Japanese) and social mores of a selected East Asian national culture complemented by unique perspectives acquired through immersion while studying abroad. 

Our majors attend , hosted by local universities, in the following locations:

• Kaohsiung, National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU)

Many majors also attend the college’s  in Chinese or Japanese. (Korean is also taught in the summer, but it is not an option for the East Asian Studies major.)
