Program Description

Students interested in acquiring proficiency in Japanese can enroll in language courses from beginning to advanced levels. In addition, students may select from among the following programs: a major or minor in language studies, an East Asian studies minor, or a major in global economics.

The sequence of lower-division courses 1-6 is aimed at enabling students to gain proficiency in aural comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Instruction takes place mostly in Japanese from the second half of the first quarter.
