Programs
Study Abroad
The East Asian Study program encourages students to take advantage of the many study abroad opportunities offered by Emory College. We regard study abroad as an integral part of our curriculum and the undergraduate experience that prepares our students for living and participating in a global society.
The Center for International Programs (www.cipa.emory.edu) oversees this broad array of study abroad programs. Offerings in East Asia include programs based in colleges and universities to SIT programs focusing on experiential, field-based study with guidance from local academics, policymakers, and field professionals.
These programs are supported by four competitive scholarship programs administered by CIPA: semester abroad, summer abroad, language intensive, and service-learning. Please visit the following links for more information:
