| East Asia, which includes China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, constitutes a very large cultural complex that for most of its history developed independently of Europe. Chinese and Japanese language courses give students skills necessary for personal communication and business dealings with individuals and organizations in Japanese and Chinese-speaking communities around the world. In courses on literature, art, religion, and philosophy, students study ways of seeing the world unique to these cultures, understanding what these rich and ancient cultures have to offer to the enrichment of personal and social life. | ||||
