Admission Requirements
All students contemplating application for admission to graduate
study must have a creditable undergraduate record. The applicant
need not have majored in Chinese or Japanese as an undergraduate,
but must have had the equivalent of at least three years of training
in the language in which he or she intends to specialize, and must
also demonstrate a command of English adequate for the pursuit of
graduate study. Applicants should not wish merely to acquire or
improve language skills, but to pursue study in one of the following
fields: Chinese history (pre-modern), Chinese linguistics, Chinese
literature, Chinese philosophy, Japanese cultural history, Japanese
literature, and Japanese linguistics.
