Our program has an excellent teaching staff and recently renovated lab facilities. The Japanese program is committed to personalized instruction in classes that focus on developing speaking and listening as well as reading and writing proficiency. Instructors attend to the student's individual needs so that he or she can attain the greatest improvement in language ability. Students who are currently attending class enjoy small classes that enable them to concentrate on authentic Japanese practice. Every year the placement test is given the week before the beginning of the fall semester.
Information regarding the specific date is available through our department.
High school students who have already been admitted to the fall semester and have finished Japanese I or I and II, have an opportunity to begin their college level Japanese studies earlier. This program usually starts the first week of June. This opportunity will provide students with a more flexible time schedule during their junior and senior years in college. Courses applied toward general education requirements cannot be counted toward the minor. No course may satisfy both major and minor requirements.
