East Asian Studies

[SpectacledDaruma]

Just pinging the board to see if anybody else here has applied to any East Asian Studies Masters programs and what they intend to do with that degree. It seems schools are trickling in between their EAS programs and EA- Languages & Lit programs. Any Japan specialists present?

I'm not applying for EAS, but I'm coming from an East Asian Studies BA. My research interests revolve around Japanese contemporary art and critical cultural theory so I've tried to best accommodate those with the following schools:

University of California Irvine - PhD Visual Studies, Japan focus - Accepted

University of California Santa Barbara - MA Japanese Cultural Studies - Waiting to hear

University of Maryland College Park - MA East Asian Art History - Accepted

University of Kanasas - MA East Asian Art History - Accepted

Dartmouth - MALS Japan Focus - Waiting to hear (My Backup)

I think no matter where I matriculate, I've gotten a great sense that I'll be working hand in hand with the EAS Lang/Lit departments in my endeavors. Who are you waiting on Spectacled?
