<p>I want to major in film/television at NYU but I’m also interested in East Asian Studies. I know learning a lot of languages help you career in the future especially in film (well, in all jobs). I’m wondering if I should double major in film and E.A.S or major in film and minor in E.A.S. And I want to know if there any schools out there that have a good E.A.S program as well as a good film program. I know NYU has a E.A.S program but, I don’t know if it’s good. Any advices?!? Any schools?!?</p>
<p>Here’s some threads that discuss East Asian Studies. Some schools that seem to keep coming up are: Berkeley, Harvard, Yale, UMich, Penn, UChicago, Stanford, Cornell, Indiana, Princeton, and Columbia, Oberlin, UCLA, UCSD. Good luck. </p>

<p>I doubt that Asian languages will make it more likely that you can land a job in the film industry. </p>
<p>I’d recommend that you take a good look at the West Coast for East Asian studies; East Asians who emigrate to the U.S. tend to settle on the Pacific Rim. L.A is the undisputed center of the film industry. UCLA would be a good choice. Stanford and Berkeley are probably a little better known for East Asian studies; something like 25% of the residents of the Bay Area are Asian American. The alumni of both schools are also pretty well plugged into the film industry in Southern California.</p>
