The breadth and depth of the curriculum sets East Asian Studies at Wittenberg apart from programs at other colleges and universities, offering a wide range of courses in culture, literature, history, political science, religion, business, psychology, and communication.
* At the conclusion of the 2024-25 academic year, Wittenberg will no longer offer a major or minor in East Asian Studies. No further declarations of an East Asian Studies major or minor will take place.
Small class sizes allow you to work closely with internationally recognized faculty who will challenge and push you to attain the skills needed to be successful. Beyond classroom instruction, you'll have numerous ways to develop your interest in East Asia. Language study tables, the Anime Club, Martial Arts Club, and the Wittenberg University East Asian Studies Journal are important extracurricular components of our program. Many students also study abroad to further develop their foreign language skills and to experience living and learning in an East Asian country.
You also will have extraordinary opportunities for internships, mentoring and access to professionals in East Asian Studies-related careers through collaborative initiatives between EAS and the Department of Business & Economics.
