In addition to in-depth language study and substantial course work in the history of East Asia, students enrolling in this joint concentration will do half of their tutorial work in the History Department and the other half in the East Asian studies concentration. The fall semester of sophomore tutorial in History introduces students to the analysis of historical writing in various genres, while the junior history tutorial focuses on methods of historical research and writing. Building on these foundations, t he spring semester tutorials in East Asian Studies examine selected themes in the history of East Asia in some depth. The sophomore tutorial offers a common curriculum covering China, Japan and Korea, while the junior tutorial allows students to choose from a variety of tutorials with particular national or thematic focus. In the senior year, joint concentrators will work with an appropriate faculty advisor or graduate student tutor to write an honors thesis,
an original work in some aspect of East Asian history.

2. 6 half-courses of tutorials:

1. Sophomore tutorial: History 97 (fall term only) and EAS 97a or 97b
2. Junior tutorial: History 98 and EAS 98b
3. Senior thesis tutorial: History 99ab or EAS 99ab. Ordinarily, the thesis will be due on the History Department's deadline before spring break, rather than on the EAS deadline after spring break. Both departments sponsor a thesis-writers conference (History's is in early December, that of EAS is in February); EAS/History concentrators are not required to attend both. To determine which is preferable, students should consult first with their thesis advisor, and then with both tutorial offices. Such consultation should occur early in the senior year.
