The Japanese program does not offer a major or minor in Japanese. Students interested in Japanese language study are encouraged to consider the interdisciplinary major or minor in Asian studies, which can include a significant Japanese language component. For such a major, four language credits are required, and up to seven credits may be applied. For an individual minor in Asian studies with a Japan focus, two credits are required, and up to four credits are possible. For details, see the Asian Languages and Cultures section.
Study abroad programs in Japan are available on an individual basis for advanced students. Students who have taken Japanese language classes and believe they should start somewhere other than with JPN 101 must contact Professor Holland for a placement interview.
