East Asian Studies Minor (Japanese Minor)

Japanese minors gain a broad understanding of the language, literature, and lives of Japan.

You can easily add a Minor in Japanese to any other major, even if you have never studied Japanese before. You will work toward linguistic proficiency in Japanese, honing your basic vocabulary and progressing toward sophisticated communication, verbal and written. From there, you’ll encounter Japanese culture through a plethora of film, history, politics, art, music, and literature. We watch animated films, sample snacks, sing in Japanese, take field trips to sushi restaurants to order in Japanese, and write and produce skits!

You will develop greater critical thinking and problem-solving and have the option to combine your language study with other valuable experiences.
