 Welcome to the East Asian Studies Center at the University of Southern California

In 1975 the USC College of Letters, Arts and Sciences established the East Asian Studies Center (EASC) in order to provide dedicated leadership, coordination and support for the growing interdisciplinary education, research activity, and community outreach concerning East Asia. For more than a quarter century, EASC has been recognized as one of the nation's leading centers for the development of East Asian area studies. Indeed, USC is among a small group of elite colleges and universities to be designated a National Resource Center for East Asian studies by the U.S. Department of Education.

This website describes the scope and diversity of our programs and initiatives by providing information about faculty resources, degree programs, courses of instruction, research activity and library collections, as well as the wide range of East Asia-related activities organized by the Center and other organizations across the university. The interdisciplinary nature of our program is one key to its enduring and growing success. But in the final analysis, it is USC's commitment to East Asian studies as a critical area of emphasis that insures the program's ongoing vitality and future expansion.
