Far Eastern Languages . . .

Students interested in serious study of the Far East are not advised to concentrate in Far Eastern Languages by that Department. The Department believes that a general knowledge in a person's own civilization is a prerequisite for study of another civilization.

Concentrated study of Far Eastern Languages should be left for the graduate level, the Department feels.

Requirements for concentration are six courses in the field, which must include a reading knowledge of either Chinese or Japanese. The Department also offers Mongolian in two varieties, old written and new written.
