Overview

The Asian and Asian American Studies program at Binghamton University encompasses six fields of study:

Asian American and diaspora studies
Global Asia
Korean studies
Japanese studies
Chinese studies

South Asian studies

One of the greatest strengths of our Asian and Asian American studies program is its emphasis on interdisciplinary scholarship and collaboration among faculty and students. This sort of community building is reflected in the intense, creative and pioneering scholarship emerging from the department, and in how the program positions graduates well for entering into PhD programs or industries such as education, business, government, public policy, NGOs and arts and culture.

Internships, research opportunities and more

The department has an active Community Engagement Program (CEP) that seeks to bridge the gap between academy and community by encouraging students to develop supervised projects in the fields of education, business, social sciences, sciences, and the humanities. Eligible students can take advantage of the Peter T. and Shun Yee Chang Memorial Internship that provides a stipend for interns to undertake projects related to the history, experiences and contributions of Chinese Americans and their communities.

The department also enjoys consistent collaboration with various institutes both on and off campus, such as the Institute for Asian and Asian Diasporas and the Confucius Institute of Chinese Opera.

Programme Structure

All graduate students are required to complete a thesis or sit for a written examination at the end of their course of study. Both the thesis and written examination require an oral defense.

Students choose one of the six fields and then take a minimum of eight graduate courses
The eight courses must include: the pro-seminar; four courses that relate directly to the student’s chosen field of study; and three approved elective courses
