The Japanese studies major consists of 35 credits: at least 23 credits from Japanese language courses beyond level 2, 3 study abroad credits, and 9 credits from English-taught electives about Japan. Among the 23 Japanese language credits, 3 must be for a major research paper (JPNS 290). Students facing financial or academic constraints regarding study abroad may discuss alternative options with advisor approval. In our interconnected world, understanding foreign languages and cultures is essential for personal growth and career advancement.
