The PhD in East Asian Studies is offered by the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Toronto, alongside a Master of Arts in the same field, across two fields: Classical East Asian and Modern East Asian. The program emphasizes interregional and interdisciplinary work spanning history, literature, philosophy, cinema and cultural studies of both modern and premodern East Asia, and applicants are expected to arrive with strong skills in at least one East Asian language. The degree is research-based, culminating in an original dissertation developed with a faculty supervisor assigned by the graduate unit and confirmed before admission. Full details on program length, delivery and tuition are set out in the department's own graduate program pages and the academic calendar.
