Bachelor's Degree
The Japanese Ph.D. program equips students to earn a doctorate in Japanese literature or cultural studies. Candidates should review the current degree requirements in the Stanford Bulletin and EALC Graduate Handbook. Quarterly meetings with faculty advisors are mandatory to track progress and discuss program expectations. Ph.D. coursework primarily involves analyzing Japanese-language primary and secondary sources. Students entering with a relevant M.A. from another institution may receive advanced standing if their previous studies match the department's Ph.D. standards.
