The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's East Asian Languages and Cultures graduate program stems from the Department's belief that truly comprehending East Asia requires both extensive language skills and mastery of the theoretical frameworks guiding advanced cultural studies. This philosophy shapes both the Master's and PhD programs. Students are urged to adopt a comprehensive perspective when examining East Asia, crossing temporal, disciplinary, and geographic divides while evaluating how different approaches illuminate the region's cultures. As East Asia experiences significant internal and global changes, individuals with advanced language competence, cultural insight, and analytical abilities will be uniquely positioned to contribute meaningfully to the region's evolving synthesis.
