Welcome to the homepage of the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures. We hope you will enjoy your visit, and we certainly invite further inquiries.
As is summarized here and explained on the pages that follow, through its many programs the department offers bachelor degrees in Chinese and Japanese plus master and doctoral degrees Japanese Literature and Film and Chinese Literature.
Currently, the department has over 100 undergraduate majors a year, and these students have the option of language-intensive or culture-intensive majors in Chinese or Japanese language. Language-intensive majors take four years of modern language, literary language, and essential literature courses, while culture-intensive majors take three years of modern language and a wider range of literature and culture courses.
Our graduate programs in total average 35-40 students a year. Students can work in the premodern or modern literatures, or both. A high percentage of our students earn Graduate Teaching Fellowships. Students in related fields, e.g., Asian Studies, Comparative Literature, Linguistics, etc., take our courses and in a few cases also contribute as Graduate Teaching Fellows.
In addition to the range of programs offered during the academic year on campus, we present intensive summer language programs each year, and many of our students attend the state-sponsored language programs in Tokyo and Beijing. Thus there are a variety of programs and approaches to the study of languages and literatures of China and Japan at the University of Oregon.
Again, welcome to the department.
