A multi-disciplinary master’s degree in Regional Studies East Asia is a springboard to many career directions. RSEA alumni go on to pursue careers in all sectors – public, private, and nonprofit – and in a broad variety of fields including public policy, law, business, management, journalism, and education. Many RSEA graduates live and work in Asia, as well as in North America and other regions.

While there is always variation between and among each cohort, typically about one-third of each graduating class go on to pursue a PhD program in their chosen discipline. Roughly another third of RSEA graduates enter positions in government or public service, or policy-oriented non-governmental organizations. Others go into business, consulting, and private sector companies, or pursue opportunities in education, museum curation, and journalism.
