As announced by the President of Columbia University in April 2020, the 2020-2021 academic year will be comprised of three semesters:  Fall 2020, Spring 2021, and Summer 2021. The East Asian Languages and Cultures department will therefore offer courses for undergraduate students (and, in some cases, for graduate students) in each of these terms.

This page provides an overview of our course offerings for all three terms, to help students as they make decisions and plans for the academic year ahead. Please note that this schedule may be subject to change, and students are encouraged not only to revisit this page but also to confirm the course listings in the online Directory of Courses and Vergil, where course descriptions and class meeting times will be posted. 

Please contact the following people for questions about the courses listed below: 

  • For undergraduate majors and concentrations: Jungwon Kim, Director of Undergraduate Studies 
  • For graduate programs: Tomi Suzuki, Director of Graduate Studies 
  • For general course information: Amber Adams, Academic Coordinator
