The Department of East Asian Studies strongly encourages students to study in a Chinese-speaking country or in Japan. You can choose to participate in U of A affiliated programs or any other program that fits your budget and your academic goals. For information about a specific program, please follow the online links below. All UA students intending to study abroad should make an appointment with a coordinator of study abroad programs. You may also contact Dr. Kaoru Hayashi (JPN), Dr. Scott Gregory (CHN) or Dr. Sunyoung Yang (KOR) about the East Asian Studies programs.
Please note: if you choose a non-affiliated program you are responsible for having the credits transferred. The Office of Study Abroad and Student Exchange can provide information about credit transfer, funding sources, and other aspects of study abroad.
