Note(s) on Requirements
- No more than two of the five required elective courses may be language courses (not including CHIN 401 and 402).
- At least one course counting toward the minor must be beyond the introductory level.
Transfer of Credit Toward the Minor
The East Asian studies program will accept up to the equivalent of two full courses of transfer credit to count toward the East Asian studies minor requirements. Two types of approval are needed. (1) Approval from the Office of the Registrar that the transfer course meets Oberlin’s transfer-of-credit eligibility standards and (2) approval from the department/program chair that the course(s) may count to the minor. Current students taking post-matriculation credit must secure this approval before registering for course(s). Students who enter Oberlin as transfer students will have their pre-matriculation credit evaluated by the Office of the Registrar for elective credit, and they can later seek approval from the department/program for applying coursework to minor requirements.
