Students accepted into the East Asian Studies program may also be invited to join the Critical Asian Humanities (CAH) track of the program based on their training and interests. Students in this track will remain part of the overall East Asian Studies program while receiving specialized tutelage in cultural studies and critical theory in the fields of literature, film, and other forms of cultural production. Questions about the CAH track should be directed to Professor Carlos Rojas.
The regular-track master's degree requires ten courses (30 semester hours -- including an integrated core course) , of which at least eight courses (24 semester hours) must be graduate East Asian studies courses, drawn from two or more departments or programs. Two language courses (six semester hours) may be counted as part of the ten courses needed for the degree. In lieu of a thesis, each student, after consulting with his/her advisor, will submit a research paper, produced in a capstone course taken during the program, to their capstone committee, composed of three faculty, at least two of which must be from the APSI core faculty list.
The degree is dependent on the acceptance of the capstone research paper and successful completion of an oral examination on this paper by the capstone committee. At the conclusion of the program, students must have attained advanced proficiency in one East Asian language, equivalent to three years of college level study. It is strongly recommended that applicants complete at least one year of language study before beginning the program at Duke. Students who are native speakers in East Asian language are encouraged to take one year (two semesters) of another East Asian language.
