Humanities Track
Basic Requirements: 13 half-courses

1. Required courses:
1. Six half-courses in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Tibetan, or Vietnamese; or an approved combination of courses involving two East Asian languages. The language requirement is met by attaining a level of competence equivalent to six half-courses of language study; thus it is possible for the requirement to be satisfied in part by work done or experience gained elsewhere than in formal course work at Harvard. However, students who are allowed to take fewer than six half-courses of language due to previous training or knowledge are required to substitute other courses.
2. Four half-courses of tutorial or courses designated as equivalents.
3. Five non-language half-courses in East Asian or related subjects, selected from the list available in the tutorial office. One of these courses must be one of the following survey courses: Historical Study A-13 (China), Historical Study A-14 (Japan), Historical Study A-75 or Korean 111 (Korea), or Historical Study B-68 (Vietnam).
2. Tutorials:
1. East Asian Studies 97a (may be taken in sophomore or junior year). For the class of 2010, it is strongly recommended that students take this course in the fall of the sophomore year.
2. East Asian Studies 97b (may be taken in sophomore or junior year). For the class of 2010, it is strongly recommended that students take this course in the spring of the sophomore year.
3. East Asian Studies 98 (ordinarily taken in spring of junior year; 97a and 97b must be completed before enrolling in 98). With permission of the Head Tutor, an approved replacement course may be substituted for EAS 98.
3. Thesis: None.
4. General Examination: None.
5. Other information: Courses counted for concentration credit may not be taken Pass/Fail, except by special petition.
