The Ph.D. program is designed to prepare students for a doctoral degree in Japanese 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.
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.
Demonstrate proficiency in modern and classical Japanese by completing the following courses or demonstrating equivalent linguistic attainment by passing the appropriate certifying examinations.
Complete eight advisor-approved courses numbered above 200 from among 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. At least one of these eight courses must deal with Japanese linguistics. For students focusing on modern literature, at least two of these eight courses must deal with premodern material. For students focusing on premodern literature, at least two of the eight courses must deal with modern material.
Complete two upper-division or graduate-level courses in two supporting fields for a total of four courses outside of Japanese literature or linguistics. Supporting fields, to be determined in consultation with the student’s primary advisor, may include Japanese anthropology, art, art history, history, philosophy, political science, religious studies, Chinese literature, Korean literature, comparative literature, etc.
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 .
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.
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. Students concentrating on classical Japanese literature usually are expected to fulfill the supporting language requirement by completing kanbun , JAPAN 265 - Readings in Premodern Japanese (2-5 units). 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 an additional supporting 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, contribution to the dissertation’s field, literature review, chapter-by-chapter description, a projected timeline, and 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.
Japanese Literature and Culture Ph.D. students must complete a Qualifying Paper by week 5 of spring quarter of the second year as part of the Candidacy evaluation process. The Qualifying Paper should be 25-30 pages in length not including bibliography and must demonstrate the ability to develop and carry out an original research project using primary and secondary materials in Japanese. The Qualifying Paper can be an extension of a seminar paper, but its topic should be discussed with the student’s primary advisor prior to writing.
The Dissertation Prospectus Defense constitutes the first step toward faculty approval for the student’s proposed dissertation project and should be completed before the student begins to apply for external funding to conduct doctoral research in Japan – typically by Spring quarter of the third year, but sometimes in Spring or Summer quarter of the second year if the student’s research agenda is already well defined by that time. The defense is a two-hour oral exam conducted by the student’s dissertation reading committee (minimum of three faculty members, including the primary advisor). The prospectus, 12-15 pages not including bibliography, must be submitted to committee members at least two weeks prior to the defense.
The Comprehensive Exam is a two-hour oral exam on Japanese literature with three examiners. The reading list (maximum 150 titles) must be approved by them at least one quarter in advance. The list must include primary texts in Japanese literature as well as core texts in methodology; students may also add a subfield and a fourth examiner if deemed necessary by their primary advisor for their research and credentialing. To pass the exam students must demonstrate competency in literary history and critical issues for the field of Japanese literary studies, selected methodologies, and key issues in any subfield. The Comprehensive Exam must be completed by the end of the fourth year.
As a network-based research institute, JST takes the initiative to promote research and development activities linked to innovation, and tackles economic and social issues through the practical application of its research output as well as international collaborative research.
Information platform and database services, etc., industry-academia collaboration and technology transfer, international collaborations, jst-mirai program.
This program promotes research and development from a basic research stage to a stage where industry can decide whether they could make a business successful (proof of concept: POC). To achieve it, we set goals focusing on clear targets which realize economic and social impact and challenge technological difficulties.
Strategic Basic Research Programs seek to build virtual research institutes (time limited research organizations spanning organizational boundaries) consisting of networks of researchers at universities, companies, and public research institutions. Researchers pursue their work, while building networks of other researchers, industrial concerns that will benefit from the fruits of research work, and interested parties in society at large, under the leadership of a Program Officer (Research Supervisor, etc.) performing the role of the institute director.
Based on management of the research area defined by the supervisor, we pursue researchers who have unique and stimulating ideas. We give aid to studies that aim for the creation of new values leading to innovations in science and technology. With advice and guidance from the research supervisor and area advisor, young researchers advance their research studies according to their unique ideas. As they communicate and form networks with researchers from different fields in and out of their research area, young researchers try to establish themselves in the field.
Under the management principles in the research area selected by the research supervisor as the manager in the research area, the young researchers selected by the research supervisor form a network with researchers in different research areas to promote a challenging individual-type research that is only accomplished by such young researchers.
In line with the Strategic Objectives set by MEXT, JST identifies key Research Areas with high potential for generating the seeds of new technologies, then appoints Research Directors responsible for managing their own research area. They formulate their own detailed frameworks for research and they also recruit researchers to contribute to the realization of their research vision, leading their teams directly in the pursuit of this research. Participation and cooperation are drawn from a broad range of sources, including JST, industry, academia and government agencies, and may include overseas participation. Hence, this program encourages a collaborative structure and the management of joint projects.
This program promotes basic research on innovative technologies that are not just extensions of conventional technologies and that will bring about discontinuous innovation, with the aim of contributing to the realization of carbon neutrality by 2050.
This program aims to contribute to an advancement of Japan's information and communication sciences through developing innovative technologies in the field and fostering researchers with unique ideas and conceptual skills. It sets challenging goals ("Grand Challenges") with the ultimate objective of bringing about paradigm shifts in information and communication sciences in promoting research. With the Grand Challenges and a flexible scheme that enables integration of basic and applied research, we promote research that leads to a transformation of society, and target to achieve proofs of concept.
RISTEX promotes R&D for resolving practical issues in the society and ethical, legal and social issues/implications (ELSI) of science and technology, by the collaboration between researchers and various stakeholders. RISTEX contributes to the achievement of SDGs and the building of the appropriate relationship between science, technology and society, by producing outputs useful in resolving problems in the real world and engaging in the pursuit with a strong emphasis on social implementation. RISTEX also promotes the “Future Earth” initiative which is an international framework for the engagement in global environmental problems.
For the purpose of contributing for achieving the SDGs, JST will promote a solution-driven R&D program in a co-creative manner involving multi stakeholders from various sectors. JST will clarify social issues and bottlenecks, create scenarios and solutions (case examples) to the issues in a holistic manner using scientific methodology based on natural sciences, social sciences and humanities.
JST is driving high risk, high impact R&D towards ambitious and attractive targets (Moonshot targets, determined by the Council for Science, Technology and Innovation (CSTI)) to solve issues facing future society.

The Database Integration Coordination Programis a program to develop databases which collect research data and utilize them in an integrated manner in life science.
Reflecting upon the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, this program puts forward the vision of a future society based on the SDGs and realizes it through collaboration from industry, academia and the government, with universities being the main driving force. This program will help form centers of excellence that promote backcasting R&D which creates new economic and social values as well as generation and sustainable management of industry-academia co-creation system which supports such backcasting R&D.
In order to promote new major industries in this program, industry and academia collaborate on planning a “technology and system innovation scenario”, and the program promotes R&D based on this scenario executed by their tight collaboration. we aim to enhance industry-academia partnership concerning basic research and human resources development, and to develop open innovation in our country.
This program supports industry-academia collaborative R&D across a wide range of phases to develop commercial applications of research output generated by basic research. Several types of funding are provided under this program, depending on the characteristics of each R&D phase.
Companies have their own business plans based on university's research results, yet many are not executed due to the developmental risk. NexTEP aims to accelerate commercialization by supporting company's large-scale practical development and obtain the sustainable business growth.
"START" is a program to support R&D and commercialization integrally to create start-ups with the support of "Project Promoters" (venture capitals). Another program called "SCORE" provides practical training opportunities of testing and improving business model hypothesis for verification of the possibility of start-ups.
“SUCCESS” is to invest in start-up companies which attempt to translate the outputs from JST-funded R&Ds into practical application. Not only seed money but also supports from human and technical points of view can be offered to these companies.
JST offers support for the acquisition of rights for the results of university research, along with support for universities' intellectual property (IP) management, packaging, licensing to companies, and opportunities for matching between industry and academia, as well as training of technology transfer personnel. JST aims at contributing to the creation of innovation through comprehensive support for intellectual property management initiatives at universities and other organizations, technology transfer, and industry-academia collaboration activities.
JST supports the acquisition of foreign patents by universities-self for applications for patents with a high likelihood of technology transfer activities or patent utilization in the future. JST provides comprehensive support for PCT applications and transfers to designated countries, including assistance with expenses and expert opinions from JST intellectual property specialists.
JST provides patent strategy consultation, invention consultation, and support to strengthen universities' IP management.
JST collects university patents for which there are expectations of technology transfer and innovation creation, but which are difficult to hold singly, receiving their transfer on a paid basis in anticipation of the outcome, and works to actively promote their utilization.
Among the collected patents, for those with high technological superiority and which are expected to have a substantial socioeconomic effect, JST secures rights to the (peripheral) technologies required for commercialization in conducting proof of concept (demonstration testing). JST works to enhance attractiveness to companies as a patent package, and to achieve early utilization.
In order to facilitate commercialization of the research output originating from universities, public research institutions and JST programs, JST undertakes licensing activities.
To provide opportunities for matching high-quality technology seeds with the needs of industry, JST organizes a national-scale university knowledge fair named “INNOVATION JAPAN: University Technology Exhibitions.”
Inventors explain their new technology at new technology presentation meetings, and researchers at universities present their own perspectives on the potential for commercial applications for their new technologies to companies.
At Open Innovation Seminars, companies can present their research-related needs to universities, including issues that require short-term solutions and companies wishing to conduct collaborative research with universities.
This information portal site aims to provide a comprehensive range of information relating to industry-academia-government collaboration for those who engage in these activities.

Depending on what field you're planning to go into, graduate school might be a necessity. But even if it's not, you may still want an advanced degree to improve your earning or employment prospects.
It's an effective strategy . After all, having a master's degree or higher offers earnings about 20% higher than those with only a bachelor's degree, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
Unfortunately, those advanced degrees don't come for free. The average cost of graduate school is just under $20,000 per year, the latest data shows — and that's for in-state tuition only. While federal student loans and aid can often help cover some of these costs, it may not be enough. If that's the case for you, private student loans can be an option to fill in the gaps.
Start comparing the top student loan rates available to you here .
Here are the best private graduate student loans to consider:
When it comes to private student loans for graduate school, College Ave is tops overall. The lender offers general graduate school loans as well as loans specifically for graduate students in dental, MBA, medical and law programs. Its interest rates are among the lowest we looked at and come in both fixed and variable options.
There are also four repayment plans to choose from, including a flat $25 payment during school. Loan terms range from five to 15 years.
Learn more about your College Ave student loan options here .
Sallie Mae offers low interest rates on both fixed-rate and variable-rate graduate loans. Fixed interest rates range from 3.99% to 14.48%, while variable rates range from 5.37% to 14.97% (including an autopay discount).
There are zero origination fees tied to these loans, and you can get up to 48 months of payment deferment while doing an internship or fellowship. There's also a six-month grace period upon graduation with this lender.
Find out how affordable your student loans could be with Sallie Mae .
If you want to avoid fees when getting your graduate student loan, look to Earnest, which charges no origination, disbursement or late payment fees. You can also skip a payment once a year without penalty, and there are four repayment options to choose from.
Another standout: Earnest offers a rare nine-month grace period after graduation vs. the six-month option offered by most lenders.
Check your private student loan options with Earnest today .
If you can find a creditworthy cosigner, you may to look to Ascent Funding for your graduate school loans. The lender offers some of the lowest rates around for cosigned loans, with fixed APRs starting at just 3.79%. Be aware, though, that its non-cosigned loans have APRs much higher (ranging from 8.65% to nearly 15%).
There are also graduate loans for a number of programs, including MBA, medical school, dental school, law school, PhD programs, master's programs and health professions, and the maximum loan amounts can be as high as up to $400,000.
Start comparing your loan options from Ascent Funding now .
If you don't have great credit, you may want to look to SoFi. Not only does the lender offer a number of cosigner options you can use to qualify , but as a member, you can also check your credit score and get access to financial advisor and career services, too. There are opportunities to earn cash for good grades as well, and there are several options for rate discounts.
Loans are available for graduation programs and certificates, and the minimum loan amount is just $5,000.
See what rate you could get with SoFi here .
If you've got good credit and are willing to set up autopay, you can get a rate as low as 3.99% with LendKey (or as low as 6% on variable-rate loans). The marketplace boasts a variety of loan options from credit unions nationwide and streamlines the application process on its digital platform. You can also refinance student loans through LendKey.
When getting any sort of loan — education or otherwise — make sure to shop around for your lender. Rates, fees, and loan offerings can vary widely between companies, so comparing several options can help ensure you get the best deal.
If you need help deciding what private student loan or lender to go with, reach out to a financial professional. They can point you toward the right options for your goals.
