Summary of Requirements
Bachelor's Thesis. The department does not require a bachelor's thesis for
graduation except from students competing for honors. However, all students are
eligible to write a bachelor's thesis upon submitting an acceptable proposal to
the department early in the fourth year, usually by the fifth week of the
autumn quarter. Interested students should consult the director of
undergraduate studies for details concerning the proposal.
Grading. East Asian concentrators may receive P/N grades in their
electives but must receive letter grades in their required course work. No
P/N or R grades are offered in language courses.
Honors. Any student who has maintained an overall grade point average of
3.0 is eligible to be considered for honors. Students who wish to compete for
honors submit a bachelor's thesis. This paper is read by two members of the
department and, if judged to be of superior quality, the student is recommended
to the College for graduation with honors. The final decision on the award of
honors rests with the College. With the consent of the departmental adviser,
honors students may include a senior tutorial in their program in preparation
for the thesis.

Program of Study
The Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations offers a Bachelor of
Arts program in East Asian studies that introduces students to the traditional
and modern civilizations of China and Japan and provides them with the
opportunity to achieve a basic reading and speaking knowledge of Chinese,
Japanese, or Korean. Although the program is located in the Humanities
Collegiate Division, its approach is interdisciplinary, and students with
social scientific interests have ample opportunities to take courses in the
Social Sciences Collegiate Division and other appropriate areas of the
University.
Program Requirements
Students enrolled in the concentration program normally fulfill the College's
language requirement with courses in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean; the
concentration further requires a second three-quarter sequence in the language
elected. In addition, concentrators are directed to take East Asian Languages
and Civilizations 108-109-110 (=Social Sciences 235-236-237)--Introduction to
the Civilizations of East Asia I, II, III--to satisfy the Common Core
civilizational studies requirement. Beyond the basic language
requirement, the concentration requires ten courses related to East Asia, three
of which may be either a third year of the East Asian language used to satisfy
the College language requirement, or a year of a second East Asian language. A
maximum of six quarters of language counts toward concentration requirements. A
minimum of three of the ten courses should be in the same discipline--for
example, history, sociology, literature, or art history. A maximum of six
approved courses taken while studying abroad may count toward concentration
requirements.General 3 EALC 108-109-110 (=SocSci 235-236-237)
