Overview

The goal of the Japanese Studies minor is to combine Japanese language skills with humanistic inquiry into the literature, film and culture of Japan. The minor helps students to improve their proficiency in speaking, reading, writing and understanding modern Japanese language, while also building the analytical skills required for sensitive and critical interpretations of a broad range of cultural material.
