East Asian Studies Minor Requirements

The East Asian Studies minor consists of six courses. Up to two of these can be advanced East Asian language courses at the 300 level or above; language courses at the 100- or 200-level do not count towards the minor.  At least four and up to six of these will be East Asia Studies (AS.310) content courses or cross-listed with East Asian Studies, two of which must be at the 300 or 400 level.  Additionally, students must demonstrate language proficiency through the advanced level (third-year level) in either Chinese, Japanese, or Korean by taking a placement examination through the Center for Language Education or by taking language courses at the 300-level or above.  

No minor requirements may be taken satisfactory/unsatisfactory. Courses taken at another institution that are not directly equivalent to a JHU course may not apply towards the minor without permission of the Director of Undergraduate Studies. All courses required for the minor must be passed with a grade of C- or higher.
