@realninja Thank you for your advice! I am planning to apply to a mixture of MA and PhD programs just so I can have a higher chance of getting in! It feels like most top PhD programs are looking for people with a MA already.

Hello! I am looking into Yale's MA program in East Asian Studies and am wondering if any current/past students could share your experiences there? Do you feel like professors are supportive and work closely with students? How is the funding? Does it prepare you for a PhD program? I am eventually hoping to get into a PhD program in art history and my research focus is on contemporary and modern Chinese art. Thank you in advance!

Hi! I am coming from the Art History side of the forum and am hoping to get some advice here: I am hoping to apply for MA/PhD on modern Chinese art and have gotten advice to look into East Asian Studies programs, potentially studying from someone who has a strong focus on visual arts. Would love to get some advice/suggestion on what are the good East Asian Studies programs in the US! Thank you!!

@paprika21Hi! I am interested in studying contemporary Chinese art too and am really interested in Tufts/Courtauld programs. Just wondering where did you end up going and how do you like your program so far, if you don't mind me asking?

@botticelliThank you so much for your advice! I am definitely looking into East Asian Studies programs and trying to find professors with focus on Art History as well. Hope your application next year goes well and let's stay in touch!
