Many graduate students in the M. A. program in East Asian Studies plan to pursue careers other than university teaching. Because a background in East Asian Studies alone is often insufficient qualification for work in many non-academic professions, Stanford's Center for East Asian Studies has established dual degree programs with the Stanford's Schools of Education, Law, and Business.

East Asian Studies and Education:
This program grants a M.A. in East Asian Studies and a secondary school teaching credential in social studies. Students should first apply to the M.A. program in East Asian Studies. During their first year at Stanford, interested students may then apply to the Stanford Teacher Education Program (STEP). In their second year of study, students will continue to take courses related to East Asia as well as complete the credential requirements (including intern teaching) of the State of California. Students who undertake this joint program are urged to maximize their usefulness to school districts by broadening their competency to teach general social studies courses. Students who participate in this program can find strong support through the China Project and the Japan Project of Stanford's Program on International and Cross-cultural Education (SPICE).

East Asian Studies and Law:
This dual program grants an A.M. in East Asian Studies and a Doctor of Jurisprudence (J.D.) degree and is designed to prepare the student for either teaching and research or the practice of law related to East Asia. Interested students must apply separately to both the East Asian Studies Program and to the Stanford School of Law and be accepted by both. Completion of this dual program requires approximately four years, depending upon the student's background and level of language training in Chinese, Japanese or Korean.

East Asian Studies and Business Administration:
Interested students must apply separately to the East Asian Studies program and to the Graduate School of Business and be accepted by both. Completion of this combined course of study requires approximately three academic years, depending on the student's background and level of language training in Chinese, Japanese or Korean.
