Bachelor's Degree
EMU's Bachelor of Arts in Japanese Language and Culture combines modern Japanese language learning with cultural studies. This program mandates a semester abroad in Japan, where students develop reading, writing, and conversational skills in Japanese. Participants achieve advanced language fluency while building critical thinking abilities and cross-cultural understanding through small classes, native interactions, and study abroad opportunities at partner institutions like Japan Center of Michigan Universities and Kansai Gaikokugo University. Alumni pursue diverse careers in humanities and business sectors, often securing positions in international environments such as the JET Program or Japanese corporations.
