GENERAL
INFORMATION

a Master's Program and a Ph.D. Program. You may apply
directly to either program. (It is not necessary
to apply for the Master's Program before going on to the Ph.D.)
There are no minimum
requirements to apply. It is expected, however, that the
applicant will have at least majored as an undergraduate in
the field for which he/she is applying and so would have had
a minimum of six semesters of their primary East Asian language
as well as some literature, history or religion courses.
Some background in a second East Asian language is preferred.
See degree requirements.
The fee to apply
to the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences is $70.00. Payments
can be made by credit card, check or international postal money
