Language Learning Communities

East Asian Studies
Incoming freshmen who are interested in learning more about East Asian Languages and Cultures are invited to be part of the East Asian Studies Language Learning Community. Members of this community will take some of their classes together and participate in co-curricular activities with an East Asian language or culture theme.

Fall 2013 East Asian Studies Language Learning Community Classes:

• A language course in Chinese, Japaneses, or Korean at the appropriate level (course listing)
  

• Freshman Seminar: World of East Asian Studies
  Specially designed for freshmen studying Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, this seminar will help you understand the culture and background for these East Asian languages. You will work closely with faculty teaching language classes, understand study abroad opportunities, and connect with other freshmen interested in East Asian studies.
