In the Japanese studies program, learners merge advanced linguistic training with explorations of Japanese linguistics and literary works. The program's objective isn't primarily to achieve native-level language proficiency, but rather to cultivate skills for navigating between languages and cultures. Developing this translingual and transcultural ability requires critical thinking about both the Japanese language and its cultural artifacts. Linguistics coursework equips students to analyze the language's structure and usage, while literature studies offer methods for interpreting Japanese writings within their historical contexts. This major serves those aiming for Japan-focused careers in government, business, or academia, as well as individuals seeking to appreciate Japanese as a vehicle for social and cultural expression. Consult the major requirements section for additional details.

To be considered for admission, you must have completed or are in the process of completing secondary school with a cumulative or overall grade point average (GPA) that is comparable to a US grade of B (3.00 on a 4.00 scale) or higher. The Admissions Committee will also be looking at the grades/marks you have received for Mathematics and Science courses.
All official transcripts, examination certifications (e.g., General Certificate of Education) and other documents showing all high school and any completed post-secondary work must be submitted to the Office of Admissions. All official transcripts must be mailed directly by the institution or Ministry of Education to the Office of Admissions. Documents mailed or hand carried by you or anyone else will not be accepted as official or used for admission consideration.
Secondary school transcripts must include a list of courses taken and grades/internal marks received each year, class rank for the last four years of secondary school, and an explanation of the school's grading system. If transcripts with annual internal marks are unavailable directly from the school, you may photocopy your mark sheets or grade reports and have them certified by a school official who verifies that a transcript is otherwise not available.
