Study Abroad Guidelines
The East Asian Studies Department strongly
recommends study abroad to maximize language proficiency
and cultural familiarity. Because study abroad provides
an unparalleled opportunity to study a culture from
the inside, students spending a semester or year in
China, Japan, or Korea will be required to prepare
an essay of 10 pages on significant issues confronting
their host country, based on information from local
newspapers or magazines, television, or personal interviews. No
departmental credit will be granted for study abroad
without satisfactory completion of this assignment,
whose details should be worked out with the student's
adviser.
Formal approval is required by the
study abroad adviser prior to the student's travel.
Without this approval, credit for courses taken abroad
may not be accepted by the East Asian studies program.
If studying abroad is not practical, students may consider
attending certain intensive summer schools approved
by the East Asian studies program. These plans must
be worked out in concert with the program's study abroad
adviser and the student's dean.
Representative Careers

Many of our majors go on to graduate school to pursue careers in higher education, law, pharmacy, medicine, investment, banking, and economics; others join the job market after leaving Bryn Mawr. Below are representative careers of some of our recent graduates.
