About the Program
Are you interested in Japan? A major or minor in Japanese studies gives you the chance to explore that interest. You will gain linguistic and cultural fluency to provide expertise on Japanese culture and society. You will also learn valuable historical and social context as well as analytic skills applicable to many careers. Students often combine Japanese studies with a second major to bring geographical focus to studies in international relations, global studies, finance, anthropology, computer science and more.
