Why Minor in Japanese Language and Culture?

Develop proficiency in Japanese, improve your cultural understanding of Japan, and apply your new skills with an opportunity for an international internship.

Strengthen your language skills in Japanese and then become comfortable applying them to real-world situations. Learn not only how to listen, read, speak, and write in Japanese but also how to use culturally appropriate behaviors. Take advantage of an internship opportunity helping Japanese high school students learn English at school in Kanagawa, Japan. A minor in Japanese Language and Culture can pair well with majors like Asian Studies, History, Visual Arts, Computer Science, and Informational Technology.
