Required Courses: |
a. Six half-courses in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Tibetan, or Vietnamese; or an approved combination of courses involving two East Asian languages. The language requirement is met by attaining a level of competence equivalent to six half-courses of language study; thus it is possible for the requirement to be satisfied in part by work done or experience gained elsewhere than in formal course work at Harvard. However, students who are allowed to take fewer than six half-courses of language due to previous training or knowledge are required to substitute other courses.
b. Two half-courses of tutorial or courses designated as equivalents.
c. Five non-language half-courses in East Asian or related subjects, selected from the list available in the tutorial office. One of these courses must be one of the following survey courses: Societies of the World 12 (formerly Historical Study A-13): China: Traditions and Transformations, Societies of the World 13 (formerly Historical Study A-14): Japan in Asia and the World, Societies of the World 27 (formerly Historical Study A-75): The Two Koreas, or Korean 111. It is recommended that at least two area courses are upper level seminars. |
