The Japanese language minor requires six language courses, and may be fulfilled concurrently with the EALC major.

Every year some graduates go to Japan under a ?JET? program: the Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme. Others go to graduate schools for further studies in East Asian studies or Japanese studies. In addition to academia some alumni have pursued careers in translation, journalism or work as consultants to Japanese companies. Regardless of whether one will use the language beyond college or not, it is our aim that every student who comes to our program will find his or her college career enriched deeply.
