CSULB's Bachelor of Arts in Japanese program equips students with language proficiency and cultural knowledge, fostering global awareness and humanistic understanding to support personal growth, social engagement, and career readiness in our interconnected world.
Unlike conventional literature-focused language programs, this curriculum prioritizes practical language learning, focusing on building conversational abilities through interactive, content-driven teaching methods. It cultivates linguistic and cultural awareness to foster effective cross-cultural communication.
Prospective students with prior Japanese language experience, whether from home use or previous education in the U.S. or Japan, must complete a placement exam administered by the Department.
