ALC Preview Event (Virtual)
Explore a PhD in Asian Studies
*Due to COVID-19, all events will be held virtually.
The University of Michigan Asian Studies Ph.D. program invites juniors, seniors, recently graduated, or Master's students to participate in a series of virtual events to learn about our graduate program. We are eager to recruit students who will contribute to our department's mission of promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in Asian Studies.
This event is a department funded opportunity to explore graduate education at the University of Michigan. Invited participants will take part in an admissions workshop, get acquainted with area studies resources such as the U-M Asia Library and International Institute, meet with world-renowned U-M faculty and current graduate students, and learn about fellowships and other resources offered by the Rackham Graduate School. During preview weekend, students will learn about:
the admissions process
fully-funded graduate programs
developing a research project
advanced language training
selecting a faculty advisor
what graduate school is like and how it all works
