<p>History major candidate from small private college does have two years ( and a summer in Beijing language ) of language under her wings --what are ALL the graduate PhD. programs in Asian Studies ???</p>
<p>ALL the graduate Ph.D. programs would be a very long list but.... Cornell, Berkeley, and UT-Austin were among my first hits on google. I would personally advise your daughter to ask one of her professors for information on where they would she suggest she apply. Which programs she applies to will depend largely on what subspecialty she is interested in.</p>
<p>If she is interested in history, she may think about apply to history programs. Although I am not interested in Asian studies, I have noticed that almost all of the programs I am applying to have several professors who specialize in the history of Japan, China, or another Asian country..</p>
<p>"Asian Studies" is too broad of a term to really be meaningful for a PhD. Nobody does anything so broad today. Most of my PhD-candidate/PhD-holder friends are studying fairly narrow areas. One, for example, studies Meiji-era social reform.</p>
<p>But top programs that come to mind are:</p>
<p>Harvard
Stanford
Yale
Berkeley
UCLA
Michigan
Columbia
Chicago
Cornell
Penn
Princeton</p>
<p>you can run a search on Peterson's - you probably won't get absolutely every program, but it'll be fairly comprehensive.</p>
<p>she needs to narrow down her interests- grad school is VERY narrow. She needs to pick history, literature, language, or anything... but just needs focus on exactly what she wants to study in graduate school.</p>
<p>I'm a Jewish Studies minor but I'm applying to History programs with Jewish history professors because that's what I'm focusing it on.</p>
<p>I second ticklemepick. She also needs to pick a specific time period if she is going to study history or at least a theme to guide her research. For example, someone who is going to study 18th Century China will apply to very different schools than someone who is interested in Japanese cultural reforms after World War II. She needs to look at specific professors whose interests mirror her own. If she is interested in literature or political science, the same process of narrowing her interests applies but the subfields will be different.</p>
