The Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa is the largest department of its kind in the country and offers a curriculum unparalleled in its breadth, depth, and variety of courses in Chinese, Japanese and Korean Language, Linguistics, and Literature.
The Chinese Section of EALL consists of two subsections: Chinese language & linguistics and Chinese literary & cultural studies. Offering faculty expertise in linguistics, language pedagogy, literary and cultural studies, the Chinese Section is one of the largest of its kind in North America and outside East Asia.
In the Japanese major, students combine advanced language work with the study of Japanese linguistics and literature. The goal of the major is to produce students who are not only highly proficient in the language, but also have the capacity to work between languages and cultures.
The Korean Section offers undergraduate and graduate programs in Korean language & linguistics, and Korean literature. Through the Korean Language Flagship Center, students can also enroll in Korean for Professionals programs that include an overseas component.
