3 Language Sequence Courses
Students are required to successfully complete the following three language courses:
Note on Language Requirements
Depending on prior exposure to the language, JPN 101 and JPN 102 may be required prerequisites for the minor. JPN 101 - Elementary Japanese I and JPN 102 - Elementary Japanese II provide the basic linguistic knowledge and skills required to begin the minor but do not count towards the minor.
For students with significant prior exposure: after consultation and a proficiency test assessment administered by Japanese Program faculty, students who demonstrate competence at any of the required levels of the Japanese language may waive part or all of the language requirements. Waived Japanese language courses will not count toward the minor and must be replaced with other Japanese Studies courses so that the student completes a total of 6 courses for the minor.
JPN 305 will count as one of the three upper-level course requirements for the minor.
3 Elective Courses
Students should choose 3 electives from the courses listed below and/or from other approved Japanese Studies courses as they become available.
