The East Asia Center oversees the 4+1 B.A./M.A. Program for University of Virginia students, an interdisciplinary initiative designed for those seeking advanced East Asian studies alongside language proficiency. This program prepares students for professional careers in business, government, or media, as well as for graduate or doctoral studies. Qualified UVa undergraduates from any school who have prior East Asian studies experience through majors, minors, or language courses can now transition seamlessly into the M.A. program. Eligible students may apply directly to the Center for admission to the master's program, exempt from application fees and standardized testing requirements.

Qualification Requirements

High School Transcripts.
Typically, the most important factor in the admission evaluation process is demonstrated academic achievement in a challenging secondary school program.
The admission committee looks for applicants who have completed the most rigorous academic courses available in their secondary schools and recommends that prospective students should exceed minimum high school graduation requirements. We require an official transcript. The secondary program should include no fewer than 16 academic courses and must include the following courses:

English 4 units
Mathematics 4 units
Foreign Language 2 units
Science (from among biology, chemistry, and physics) 2 units (*)
Social Studies 1 unit

A TOEFL or IELTS score should not be more than two years old. Depending on the school, most admitted graduate students attain a minimum total score of 90 on the internet-based (iBT) TOEFL (including sectional minimums of 22 in speaking, 22 in writing, 23 in reading and 23 in listening). The minimum paper-based TOEFL score requirement is usually 600, and the minimum IELTS score requirement is 7.0.
