The Department of East Asian Studies has revised its curriculum and will be implementing NEW East Asian Studies major, minor and honors programmes from the 201516 academic year onwards. The new East Asian Studies major, minor and honors programs will REPLACE ALL existing departmental major, minor, and honors programs (Chinese, Japanese, Combined Chinese/Japanese, East Asian Studies). In addition, most of the Department’s nonlanguage courses have been renumbered as part of the curriculum revisions. The Department made this decision in the interests of simplicity and flexibility, to broaden student choices in the composition of their major, minor or honors, and to facilitate the progress of students through the Department’s programs. 1. How are the new major and minor requirements different from those for the current majors and minors? The new major and minor are broadly similar to the existing majors and minors. Students pursuing the new major will be required to take an East Asian language to at least thirdyear level and nonlanguage courses within the Department of East Asian Studies to at least fourthyear level. Students will also be able to count relevant courses from other programs or departments towards their East Asian Studies major. Students pursuing the new minor will be able to take language or nonlanguage courses to meet the required number of credits. A detailed description of the old and new majors and minors appears below. 2. I have already declared a Chinese, Japanese, Combined Chinese/Japanese, or East Asian Studies major or minor in the Department of East Asian Studies. What will happen to my major or minor? The existing Chinese, Japanese, or Combined Chinese/Japanese majors or minors (as applicable) will be suspended, pending governmental approval. Students already pursuing these majors or minors in Fall 2015 will be allowed four years in which to complete them, after which we expect that the old Chinese, Japanese, and Combined Chinese/Japanese majors and minors will be completely discontinued. The last BA degrees with a Chinese, Japanese or Combined Chinese/Japanese major or minor (as applicable) will be granted at the Spring Convocation in 2019. Students who have already declared an East Asian Studies major or minor under the old requirements will be able to continue in their program beyond 2019, but are able to transition into the new East Asian Studies major or minor at any time from 2015 onwards (and are encouraged to do so). 3. What happens if I don’t finish my Chinese, Japanese, or Combined Chinese/Japanese major or minor by 2019? The Spring 2019 deadline is absolutely firm. Once the existing Chinese, Japanese, and Combined Chinese/Japanese majors or minors (as applicable) are suspended, students who for ANY reason do not COMPLETELY finish their Chinese, Japanese, or Combined Chinese/Japanese major or minor so that they can graduate by Spring 2019 will have to choose a new major or minor and fulfil its requirements before they will be able to graduate with a BA degree. This includes students who have interrupted their program of study and have been readmitted to the University of Alberta. No exceptions can be made to this rule. 4. I am planning to declare a major or minor in the Department of East Asian Studies this year (201415). Can I still choose a Chinese or Japanese or Combined Chinese/Japanese major or minor (as applicable)? Yes, but you are STRONGLY advised to opt for the new major or minor instead. Students declaring a major in the Department of East Asian Studies in the 20142015 academic year should report to Undergraduate Student Services in the Faculty of Arts and discuss their plans with the advisors there in person so that a program check can be carried out.

The  Department  of  East  Asian  Studies  has  revised  its  curriculum  and  will  be  implementing  NEW  East  Asian  Studies  major,  minor  and  honors  programmes   from   the  2015-­‐16  academic  year  onwards.    The   new   East  Asian  Studies  major,  minor  and  honors  programs  will  REPLACE  ALL  existing  departmental  major,  minor,  and  honors  programs  (Chinese,  Japanese,  Combined  Chinese/Japanese,  East  Asian  Studies).    In  addition,  most  of  the  Department’s  non-­‐language  courses  have  been  renumbered  as  part  of  the  curriculum  revisions.    The  Department  made  this  decision  in  the  interests  of  simplicity  and  flexibility,  to  broaden  student  choices  in  the  composition  of  their  major,  minor  or  honors,  and  to  facilitate  the  progress  of  students  through  the  Department’s  programs.    

   1.  How  are  the  new  major  and  minor  requirements  different  from  those  for  the  current  majors  and  minors?  The  new  major  and  minor  are  broadly  similar  to  the  existing  majors  and  minors.    Students  pursuing  the  new  major  will  be  required  to  take  an  East  Asian  language  to  at  least  third-­‐year  level  and  non-­‐language  courses  within  the  Department  of  East  Asian  Studies   to  at   least   fourth-­‐year   level.     Students  will  also  be  able   to  count   relevant  courses   from  other  programs  or  departments   towards   their  East  Asian  Studies  major.    Students  pursuing   the  new  minor  will  be  able   to   take   language  or  non-­‐language   courses   to  meet   the   required   number   of   credits.     A   detailed   description   of   the   old   and   new  majors   and  minors  appears  below.    2.  I  have  already  declared  a  Chinese,  Japanese,  Combined  Chinese/Japanese,  or  East  Asian  Studies  major  or  minor  in  the  Department  of  East  Asian  Studies.    What  will  happen  to  my  major  or  minor?  The   existing   Chinese,   Japanese,   or   Combined   Chinese/Japanese   majors   or   minors   (as   applicable)   will   be   suspended,  pending  governmental  approval.    Students  already  pursuing  these  majors  or  minors  in  Fall  2015  will  be  allowed  four  years  in  which  to  complete  them,  after  which  we  expect  that  the  old  Chinese,  Japanese,  and  Combined  Chinese/Japanese  majors  and  minors  will  be  completely  discontinued.    The  last  BA  degrees  with  a  Chinese,  Japanese  or  Combined  Chinese/Japanese  major  or  minor  (as  applicable)  will  be  granted  at  the  Spring  Convocation  in  2019.    Students  who  have  already  declared  an  East  Asian  Studies  major  or  minor  under  the  old  requirements  will  be  able  to  continue  in  their  program  beyond  2019,  but  are  able  to  transition  into  the  new  East  Asian  Studies  major  or  minor  at  any  time  from  2015  onwards  (and  are  encouraged  to  do  so).    3.  What  happens  if  I  don’t  finish  my  Chinese,  Japanese,  or  Combined  Chinese/Japanese  major  or  minor  by  2019?  The  Spring  2019  deadline  is  absolutely  firm.    Once  the  existing  Chinese,  Japanese,  and  Combined  Chinese/Japanese  majors  or  minors  (as  applicable)  are  suspended,  students  who  for  ANY  reason  do  not  COMPLETELY  finish  their  Chinese,  Japanese,  or  Combined  Chinese/Japanese  major  or  minor  so  that  they  can  graduate  by  Spring  2019  will  have  to  choose  a  new  major  or  minor  and  fulfil  its  requirements  before  they  will  be  able  to  graduate  with  a  BA  degree.    This  includes  students  who  have  interrupted  their  program  of  study  and  have  been  readmitted  to  the  University  of  Alberta.    No  exceptions  can  be  made  to  this  rule.    4.   I   am  planning   to  declare   a  major  or  minor   in   the  Department  of   East  Asian   Studies   this   year   (2014-­‐15).     Can   I   still  choose  a  Chinese  or  Japanese  or  Combined  Chinese/Japanese  major  or  minor  (as  applicable)?  Yes,   but   you   are   STRONGLY   advised   to   opt   for   the   new   major   or   minor   instead.     Students   declaring   a   major   in   the  Department  of  East  Asian  Studies  in  the  2014-­‐2015  academic  year  should  report  to  Undergraduate  Student  Services  in  the  Faculty   of   Arts   and   discuss   their   plans   with   the   advisors   there   in   person   so   that   a   program   check   can   be   carried   out.

Students  in  any  doubt  that  they  will  be  able  to  meet  the  current  major  or  minor  requirements  by  Spring  2019  are  strongly  advised   to  delay   their  declaration  of   a  major  or  minor  until   next   year   so   that   they   can   then   choose   the  new  East  Asian  Studies  major  or  minor  instead.    5.  I  am  planning  to  declare  a  major  or  minor  in  the  Department  of  East  Asian  Studies  next  year  (2015-­‐16).    What  will  my  options  be  then?  From  Fall  2015  onwards,  students  will  no  longer  be  accepted  into  the  existing  majors  and  minors;  ALL  students  declaring  a  major  or  minor  in  the  Department  of  East  Asian  Studies  at  that  time  will  pursue  the  new  East  Asian  Studies  major  or  minor.    6.  If  I  pursue  the  new  East  Asian  Studies  major,  can  I  combine  it  with  the  new  East  Asian  Studies  minor?  No.    Under  the  existing  system,  students  can  combine  majors  and  minors  within  the  Department  of  East  Asian  Studies  (e.g.,  Japanese  major  /  East  Asian  Studies  minor),  but  the  new  major  and  minor  may  not  be  taken  together.    Students  pursuing  the  new  East  Asian  Studies  major  will  have  to  choose  a  minor  from  another  program  or  department.    7.  If  I  pursue  the  new  East  Asian  Studies  major  or  minor,  can  I  combine  it  with  any  of  the  Department’s  existing  majors  or  minors?  No.    The  new  East  Asian  Studies  major  or  minor  cannot  be  combined  with  any  of  the  existing  major  or  minor  programs  in  the  Department  of  East  Asian  Studies  (Japanese,  Chinese,  Chinese  and  Japanese  Combined,  old  East  Asian  Studies).    8.  Will  the  courses  offered  by  the  Department  of  East  Asian  Studies  change?  No.     The  Department  of  East  Asian  Studies  will   be  offering   the   same  courses  as  at  present,   subject   to  normal   variation.    However,   the   course   numbers   have   been   reorganised   as   part   of   the   curriculum   revisions.     Under   the   new   numbering  system,  which  will  come  into  effect  in  the  2015-­‐16  year,  language  courses  are  still  named  for  the  country  whose  language  is  covered  by   the   course   (CHINA,   JAPAN,  KOREA),  while  non-­‐language  courses  are  now  all   EASIA   courses   regardless  of   the  country   or   discipline   treated  by   the   course.     A   list   of   the  Department’s   courses  with   their   new   course   numbers   follows  below.    9.  Will  the  Translation  Studies  Certificate  in  Japanese  still  be  available?  Yes.    The  Translation  Studies  Certificate  in  Japanese  will  still  be  available  to  students  pursuing  a  relevant  Honors,  major,  or  minor   in  the  Department  of  East  Asian  Studies,  whether   it   is  one  of   the  current  programs  or  the  new  East  Asian  Studies  Honors,   major,   or   minor.     Please   note   that   students   must   be   matriculated   in   a   relevant   Honors,   major,   or   minor   (as  applicable)  in  the  Faculty  of  Arts,  Faculty  of  Education,  or  Faculty  of  Science  to  be  eligible  to  receive  the  Certificate.    10.  How  will  this  affect  the  Honors  program?  The   Department’s   Honors   program   has   also   been   revised.     From   Fall   2015   students   will   no   longer   be   able   to   pursue  Honours   in   Japanese  or  Chinese;   instead,  Honors  students  will  only  be  accepted   into   the  new  East  Asian  Studies  Honors  program.    Combined  Honors   involving  East  Asian  Studies  and  another  discipline  will  also  be  available.    Further  details  on  the  Honors  program  are  given  below.    11.   Will   this   affect   the   Bachelor   of   Education   major   and   minor   programs   in   which   students   take   courses   in   the  Department  of  East  Asian  Studies?  The  majors  and  minors  offered  for  the  BEd  in  the  Faculty  of  Education  will  not  be  affected  by  the  revisions  to  the  major  and  minor  programs   in   the  Department  of   East  Asian   Studies:   students  will   still   be   able   to  pursue  majors  or  minors   such  as  “Second  Languages:  Japanese”  in  the  Secondary  Education  Route  BEd  degree.    However,  most  of  the  non-­‐language  courses  that  Education  students  will  take  as  part  of  their  major  or  minor  will  be  renumbered  as  EASIA  courses.    12.  Will  this  affect  after-­‐degree  programs  in  the  Faculty  of  Arts?  Yes.    The  new  program  requirements  apply  to  any  student  pursuing  a  major,  minor,  or  Honors  program  in  the  Department  of  East  Asian  Studies  as  part  of  an  Arts  after-­‐degree  program.
