GRADUATE PROGRAMS IN ASIAN STUDIES (This list is still under construction)

DISCLAIMER: The schools and programs listed below are for your information, and not necessarily endorsed by the Department of Asian Studies at Furman University. There are many different programs available (both in the US and elsewhere), and this brief list is simply a starting point for those of you interested in pursuing graduate work in Asian Studies.
Most major research institutions have discipline-based Ph.D. programs with Asia-related faculty. Look at the websites for the departments of Anthropology, East Asian Languages and Civilization, Economics, History, History of Science, Political Science, Religion, Sociology...for more info. These major research universities have some kind of "Asia Center" or a research institute that hosts a number of scholars who specialize in the region. It may be helpful to find these, and look through them first.
