The Doctor of Philosophy program, which requires a minimum of three years of study in an East Asian language for admittance, is designed to prepare qualified full-time students for the Doctor of Philosophy degree. Students participate in a variety of courses, colloquia, and seminars designed to provide the student with historical breadth and critical acumen, the ability to read and analyze texts in East Asian languages, and the skills necessary to carry out original research. For more information about our PhD programs, please refer to the EALAC PhD Degree Program Requirements.

In addition, many students also apply to study with the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society while pursuing a PhD in the EALAC department. The Institute for Comparative Literature and Society (ICLS) supports interdisciplinary work in the humanities and social sciences as well as in the professional schools (Law and Architecture, Planning and Preservation) and the regional institutes. The Institute draws on a large number of comparatists in the language and literature departments as well as in related disciplines. Housed in the Institute, the Interdepartmental Committee on Comparative Literature and Society combines rigorous training in the student’s home PhD program with the most advanced cross-disciplinary work in the study of comparative literature and society. Doctoral students in EALAC may pursue a Concentration in the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society while pursuing a PhD in the EALAC department. Those who choose to do so must indicate their interest in ICLS clearly on the cover of their application or in the subfield section in the Application Part 1. More information about the Institute can be found at The Institute for Comparative Literature website.
