Dear all,<br>
<br>
It's the graduate school application season of the year--at least in
the U.S. <br>
<br>
For anyone who is thinking about or knows someone thinking about
graduate training in Korean history at the University of
Pennsylvania, I would like to note that (s)he should apply for our
Department of History (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.history.upenn.edu/">http://www.history.upenn.edu/</a>) rather than
the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations (which does
not have a standing faculty member in Korean studies). For your
information: History funds Ph.D. students but not M.A. students.
Also, applicants should keep in mind that the M.A. program is
terminal, and the department rarely, if ever, admits its M.A.
graduate into the Ph.D. program.<br>
<br>
As for more information on Korean studies in general at Penn, please
visit our James Joo-Jin Kim Program in Korean Studies website
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.sas.upenn.edu/koreanstudies/">http://www.sas.upenn.edu/koreanstudies/</a>).<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
Gene<br>
