Abstract: Since World War II, East Asian studies have ad vanced through the establishment of general education pro grams in Oriental studies for undergraduates, the development of interdisciplinary "area" or "regional" studies on the M.A. level, and the extension of frontiers of specialized research on the doctoral level. To help meet the demands of such pro grams, language study has been accelerated through more in tensive courses during the academic year, through full-time summer programs that are more diversified in both content and method, and through special high school programs offering an early start in Chinese and Japanese. The co-ordination of these efforts in a unified program of language and area studies, serving the needs of students on different levels, is shown in the example of Columbia University.
