Between 1990 and 1993, enrollment dropped in half. In 1993, there were 75 students concentrating in EAS, according to the Registrar.
From 1993 to the present, the number of concentrators has hovered in the mid-70s. This year, EAS has 78 concentrators, 40 of whom are studying jointly with another department.
Despite the decline, faculty and students in the department agree that, in the words Professor of Chinese Literature and EAS head tutor Leo Lee, "there is no crisis."
But the 78 EAS concentrators undertake, in the words of one student, an "almost daunting" task.
"[Enrollment in EAS] has gone down because Japan's economy is not as good, but the China program has gone up," says Mark R. Freeman '97.
