Learning Japanese will dramatically help you expand your business opportunities, especially if you pursue a career in the technology sector.

Japanese Language and Culture Minor

The Minor in Japanese Language and Culture is a minor within the Department of Languages and Cultures which allows a minimum of required elective hours to be fulfilled through coursework in the related departments of Visual and Performing Arts and History. A minimum of 18 credits are required beyond the beginning language level for a minor in Japanese Language and Culture. Six upper-division credits in Japanese Language and Literature are required; the remaining credits may be chosen from the list of approved courses for the minor, at least three of which must be upper division.
