The rapid globalization of this dynamic region—and its ties to the United States—have driven interest in the languages, cultures, and histories of China, Japan, and South Korea among undergraduate and graduate students interested in pursuing careers in government, business, journalism, academia, and the arts. The Hamilton Lugar School's Department of East Asian Languages & Cultures at Indiana University is dedicated to the study of this rich and diverse region, with courses and expertise ranging from contemporary politics and religion to literature and ancient philosophy. Undergraduate studies We offer courses in Chinese (Mandarin) , Japanese , and Korean at every level of language study, as well as a full range of courses on East Asian literature, history, politics, religion, and culture.
