The Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS), established in 1965, serves as the central hub for students, faculty, and affiliates to come together and share their research and ideas. With world-renowned faculty, talented graduate and undergraduate students, internationally-recognized library collections, and outstanding institutional support, Stanford University is home to one of the largest and most distinguished East Asian Studies programs in the country. Over 100 faculty members and lecturers in twenty-seven schools, departments, and programs teach and research on East Asia-related subjects across multiple disciplines and time periods. With East Asia-focused faculty housed in all professional schools—Business, Earth Sciences, Education, Engineering, Law, and Medicine—and numerous departments and institutes within the School of Humanities and Sciences, Stanford programs provide comprehensive coverage of nearly all aspects of East Asia. Stanford's teaching and research is further bolstered by the numerous institutes, centers, research programs, and international collaborative projects which bring scholars, officials, business leaders, postdoctoral fellows, visiting faculty, and delegations to campus, connecting Stanford directly to private industry, government and educational institutions throughout Asia and around the world.
