Graduates
DEALL has a graduate student population that ranges between forty-five and fifty-five students, making the program one of the largest in the continental United States. Graduate students can pursue both the M.A. and Ph.D. in Chinese or Japanese, focusing on literature, linguistics, or language pedagogy as a field of specialization. For information on MA in East Asian Studies, please visit easc.osu.edu.
Our graduate students take an active role in their fields, with many students presenting papers or participating in workshops at major conferences each year. Students are encouraged to publish their papers, and several of DEALL's graduate students have won University-wide competitive awards for outstanding scholarly research papers. Four of DEALL's Ph.D. students have received the Presidential Fellowship for final year dissertation write-up in the past few years. Several have been the recipients of such distinctions as the Mombusho Scholarship, Fulbright-Hays, Japan Foundation, and Inter-university Center (of which OSU is a member) fellowship. One of our graduates has been designated a McArthur Foundation Fellow. Many of DEALL's M.A. graduates have continued their education here or in Ph.D. programs of MIT, Yale, Berkeley, Brandeis, and Cornell, to name only a few. Graduates of DEALL's M.A. and Ph.D. programs have been employed by universities such as Brigham Young, MIT, College of William and Mary, Harvard, University of Michigan, University of Maryland, University of Oregon, UCLA, University of Illinois, National University of Singapore, and the International Christian University in Japan. Most of these appointments are tenure-track positions.
