"After a career on Wall Street, I wanted to pursue a totally different area of interest--Asian Studies. I had some concerns about returning to school at my age, but the Columbia experience has been very open, enlightening, and welcoming to an 'older guy.' The atmosphere has been very supportive. I've made good friends with students and faculty, and the experience of learning something completely new has been rewarding."

Liberal Studies M.A. Program: East Asian Studies
The Program in East Asian Studies focuses on the three East Asian countries--China, Japan, and Korea-through the perspectives of history, the humanities, and social sciences. The introductory course traces the development of these three countries through the classical age, the Buddhist age, the neo-Confucian age, and the Western age. From this beginning, the student may choose a direction from the course offerings, keeping in mind the specific area requirements. The final requirement is a substantial paper that brings synthesized perspectives from two (or more) disciplines to bear on a limited topic within the student's area of concentration.
Since relatively few courses meet during evening hours, it would be difficult to complete this program taking evening courses alone.
