(日本プログラムへの歓迎)

"Knowing another language enriches your personal life, expands the range of professional opportunities open to you, and increases your power to act as a citizen of the world." (MLA, 2006)

The Japanese Studies program in the Institute for Global Interdisciplinary Studies (IGIS) offers a variety of courses that cover everything from language study to all aspects of Japan — traditional and pop culture, society, history, literature, films, culinary culture and women's studies.

Students interested in Japan can take Japanese Studies as a minor and/or a concentration in East Asian Studies.

Majors can select courses on Japan from outside the department in fields including economics, art history, anthropology, history, and music.
