东亚研究哲学博士

我们的研究生课程使学生能够熟悉有关东亚文学和文化的最新学术问题。学生将学习一种东亚语言的高级研究知识，有时会根据需要阅读另一种外语的知识。他们选择一个专业，也可以选择一个重点，这为学术培训增添了一个特殊的维度，并扩大了学生在高等学校担任教师的适销性。
The Department offers a Ph.D. program in East Asian Studies, with specializations in Chinese, Japanese, and East Asian Cultural Studies. The M.A. may be awarded to Ph.D. students in progress toward the doctoral degree. The graduate program emphasizes rigorous training in language and textual analysis, with equal attention given to the historical, social, and cultural dimensions of literary study. In addition to more traditional vocabularies of criticism and theory, the curriculum encourages exploration of recent challenges to established conceptual and methodological frameworks. The program builds on the foundation of a faculty whose research interests engage major issues in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean literature and culture, while developing connections with the larger community of scholarship at UCI. Because the graduate program is designed to prepare students for both college-level teaching and advanced research, each student will be required to serve, under direct faculty supervision, as a teaching assistant in an appropriate undergraduate course offered through the Department.
