The Barnard East Asia program is fully integrated with the graduate and undergraduate program of the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, Columbia University. In the letter of application, we ask you to speak to your ability to work effectively with a student population that is broadly diverse with regard to gender and gender expression, race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, and religion.
