The Academic Program
East Asian Languages and Literatures (EALL) is the
largest department of its kind in the country and offers a curriculum
unparalleled in its breadth, depth, and variety of courses in Chinese,
Japanese, and Korean.
At the undergraduate level, language skill courses are
aimed at developing a high level of proficiency in both the spoken and
written aspects of the languages. Other courses provide both
introductory and advanced coverage of the literatures of East Asia and
the analysis and description of the languages themselves. The graduate
program is primarily designed to provide students with advanced
professional training in language history, structure, pedagogy, and
sociolinguistics, as well as literary history and criticism.
While most students enroll in language courses to
fulfill the General Education Core requirement for foreign languages,
there are many who plan to use Chinese, Japanese, or Korean in research
or graduate studies. Those who plan to enter the work force immediately
upon completing their undergraduate studies find that their language
proficiency opens doors to employment in the local travel industry and
other internationally oriented businesses.
