East Asian & Management Studies
Asia comprises half the world; more than a fifth of the world's population lives in China. East Asia has long had considerable influence on world affairs, and with the increasingly global nature of contemporary life, the cultures and peoples of East Asia will doubtless play a significant role in human affairs in the future. Binghamton's undergraduate cross-disciplinary program in East Asian and Management Studies, approved by the Harpur College and School of Management, allows students to focus part of their studies on this important region.

The Program draws on the expertise of faculty in social science, humanities, and management to acquaint students with the societies and cultures of East and Southeast Asia. The program, pursued as a complement to the regular major program, allows students the flexibility to create their own course of study according to their interests. The East Asian and Management studies Program provides a sound preparation for entry-level positions in multinational corporations or government or for further study in professional or graduate school. Student-designed study programs may concentrate on Japan or China or may range across East Asia. Students are encouraged to include study abroad experiences including the International Studies Certificate in the program. Many of the required courses may be taken at foreign institutions. SOM sponsors a program at Korea University where upper level courses may be taken.
