History
The Department of Far Eastern Studies was created in 1964 to provide programs about the cultural history, philosophy, religions, languages and literature of the Indo-Tibetan-China areas. The department first offered graduate classes in 1967. In 1981 it was announced that Far Eastern Studies would be phased out over the next three years. Some Far Eastern Studies courses continued to be offered through other departments.
