Japanese minor

The Department of East Asian Languages and Literature (EALL) is committed to the mission of liberal arts education in an increasingly diverse and global world, both for students pursuing the major and for non-majors interested in East Asian languages and literatures. It offers a full four-year program of language courses in both Chinese and Japanese, as well as literature and culture courses in English.

A student may not complete both a major and a minor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures which focus on the same language. In meeting the requirements of this discipline-based minor, a student may not use more than nine credits used to meet the requirements of another major or minor. Japanese minors are encouraged, though not required, to study abroad (for Spring Term or longer) in a reputable language-based Japanese program. Students must complete JAPN 111  or equivalent prior to declaring the minor.

A minor in Japanese requires completion of at least seven courses beyond JAPN 111. In meeting the requirements of this discipline-based minor, a student may not use more than nine credits used to meet the requirements of another major or minor.
