Minor in Japanese Language & Literature
The Japanese minor covers the foundational concepts in spoken and written Japanese, including both official language and commonly used speech patterns. All minors complete six courses, with topics including pre-modern through present day literature, history and social science, newspapers and documentaries.
Students in the minor are also required to complete four prerequisite language courses before finishing the remaining requirements.
