Korean Language and Literature Master's Program, Doctoral Program
Language is the root of all of culture. At the same time, it is a spiritual container which all language speakers have so the study of our language gives us a chance to develop. By learning comparative studies of Korean language and Korean literature, we can attain a more desirable future for Korean language and literature. The doctorate degree investigates in more detail what you would normally brush upon when studying a master's course. A Major in Korean language and literature covers, national language, classic literature, contemporary literature, and increases the level of granularity in the study. Therefore, rather than a common quest for knowledge these areas of inquiry are special. The object of these classes is to investigate our literary system more delicately.

Ph.D. in Korean Literature and Culture
The Ph.D. program is designed to prepare students for a doctoral degree in Korean literature and culture.
Students should consult the most up-to-date version of the degree plan on the Stanford Bulletin as well as the EALC Graduate Handbook . Each student should meet with their faculty advisor at least once per quarter to discuss the degree requirements and their progress.
Admission to Candidacy
Candidacy is the most important University milestone on the way to the Ph.D. degree. Admission to candidacy rests both on the fulfillment of department requirements and on an assessment by department faculty that the student has the potential to successfully complete the Ph.D.
Following University policy ( GAP 4.6.1 ), students are expected to complete the candidacy requirements by Spring Quarter of the second year of graduate study.
Pre-Candidacy Requirements
Demonstrate proficiency in modern Korean by completing the following courses for a letter grade of B or higher or by demonstrating an equivalent level of linguistic attainment by passing the appropriate certifying examinations.
- KORLANG 213 - Fourth-Year Korean, Third Quarter (4 units)
- EALC 201 - Proseminar in East Asian Humanities I: Skills and Methodologies (3 units)
- EALC 202 - Proseminar in East Asian Humanities II: Current Scholarship (1 unit)
Complete eight advisor-approved courses numbered above 200 from the offerings of the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures. At least four of these eight courses must be advanced seminars numbered above 300, and two of these eight courses should be numbered at or above the 200-level and offered by departments outside EALC in consultation with the student’s advisor.
All Doctoral students must complete an MA qualifying paper. An MA thesis is accepted instead of a qualifying paper for students initially admitted as EALC MA students. Students seeking an MA en route to the PhD must secure approval from the primary advisor and submit an MA thesis.
A graded MA qualifying paper or thesis must be submitted to the DGS and SSO with an accompanying note from the student’s primary advisor by week five of spring quarter of the second year of study for the annual review and candidacy decision.
During the quarter when students complete the MA qualifying paper or thesis (25-30 pages), they must enroll in EALC 299 .
Teaching Requirement
- DLCL 301 - The Learning and Teaching of Second Languages (3 units)
Demonstrate pedagogical proficiency by serving as a teaching assistant for at least three quarters, starting no later than autumn quarter of the third year of graduate study. The department may approve exceptions to the timing of the language teaching requirement.
Post-Candidacy Requirements
Demonstrate proficiency in at least one supporting language to be chosen in consultation with the primary advisor according to the candidate’s specific research goals. For the supporting language, students must be proficient at the second-year level, at the minimum; a higher level of proficiency may be required depending on the advisor’s recommendation. Reading proficiency must be certified through a written examination or an appropriate amount of coursework to be determined on a case-by-case basis. When deemed necessary by the student’s advisor(s), working knowledge of a third language may also be required.
Pass a comprehensive qualifying examination that tests the candidate’s breadth and depth in the primary field of research and methodological competence in the relevant discipline before advancing to Terminal Graduate Registration (TGR) status.
Students should submit a dissertation prospectus before advancing to Terminal Graduate Registration (TGR) status. The prospectus should comprehensively describe the dissertation project and include sections on the project rationale, key research questions, contributions to the field, a literature review, a chapter-by-chapter outline, a projected timeline, and a bibliography.
Pass the University Oral Examination (dissertation defense). General regulations governing the oral examination are found in Graduate Academic Policies and Procedures ( GAP 4.7.1 ). The candidate is examined on questions related to the dissertation after acceptable parts have been completed in draft form.
Following university policy ( GAP 4.8.1 ), submit a dissertation demonstrating the ability to undertake original research based on primary and secondary materials in Japanese.
