About the
Major
Japanese majors acquire the skills and knowledge that an increasingly globalized world requires. Students acquire solid training in one of the key languages for contemporary business, scholarship, and culture. At the same time, they also probe the complexities of Japan’s diverse artistic, intellectual, and religious traditions. Majors have opportunities to explore the radically different worldviews of Japan’s classical cultures, its modern encounters with both Asia and the West, and its current position as a cutting-edge center for innovative culture, technology, and thought. A wide range of courses are offered in such areas as linguistics, aesthetics, literature, folklore, film, cultural studies, gender studies, and Buddhism. Students typically encounter a broad range of cultural forms, including classical tanka poetry, medieval Zen treatises, modern short stories and novels, and postmodern film and popular culture.
