The
Department of East Asian Languages, Literatures and
Cultures offers undergraduate degree programs for
students who want to achieve proficiency in the languages
of China, Japan, Korea and Tibet, as well as a deeper
understanding of their literatures and cultures. Specific majors in Japanese or Chinese can be selected. Our
program also includes undergraduate courses in classical
and modern literature, as well as courses that teach these literatures in English
translation and emphasize their relevance to the
sociopolitical, historical, and cultural aspects of
East Asia.
Students interested in studying East
Asia are encouraged to begin their language training
as soon as possible, preferably in their first semester
at UVa. All DEAL-LC language programs offer the introductory
1010-level course each Fall (no DEAL-LC language programs
offer 1010-level courses in the spring semesters). We also encourage all students to participate in one of our several study abroad programs.
Students interested in declaring
either of DEAL-LC's majors must take our introductory
non-language course: EAST 1010 (East Asian Canons and
Cultures). Both of DEAL-LC's majors are interdisciplinary,
so courses from other departments are required. See
the departmental website for more information and for
a complete list of requirements for the two majors and
the minor.
