A Master's degree in Harvard East Asian studies

<p>How long does it take?
I am currently majoring in Econ and Pol Sci. If I get a MS from Stanford majoring in Financial mathematics, can I still apply for a Harvard MA in East Asian Studies and get it within a year? (Interested in banking in East Asia)</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>but up to one year of credit toward the degree requirements may be awarded for work already completed elsewhere. </p>

<p>^ I didn’t understand that. So if I already have an MS that should help?</p>

<p>Only if the coursework in the prior MS satisfies the requirements of the coursework in AM in Regional Studies — East Asia degree program. </p>

<p>You certainly don’t need an MA in East Asian Studies to get into financial services in East Asia. Not that it wouldn’t be interesting and helpful on a personal level. But if you are really a freshman at Stanford and you really are interested in a career in banking in Asia, you have a chance to develop lots of opportunities via your undergraduate program without getting any master’s degree at all, much less two of them.</p>
