Graduates of the Department traditionally enter careers in teaching, international trade, U.S. government security, and the travel industry. The degree is also excellent preparation for professional graduate programs in business administration (M.B.A.), law, librarianship, and Teaching English as a Second Language. The department strongly encourages students interested in East Asian Studies to double-major. Combinations with particularly strong employment potential are East Asian Studies and economics, business, and political science.

The University maintains exchange programs in China with Beijing University, Fudan University, Nanjing University, and Nankai University. These programs provide students an opportunity to study Chinese language and selected topics in the humanities and social sciences in China for one academic year.

All departmental majors are strongly encouraged to participate in these exchange programs in order to gain first-hand experience of life in contemporary East Asia.

The Department of East Asian Studies and the School of Business offer a five-year B.A./M.B.A. Degree Program in Chinese and Business Administration.
