Japan has one of the world’s largest economies, advanced technology in many areas, and exciting traditional and popular cultures that appeal to people from around the world. Experiencing Japanese culture and language skills are valuable assets in today’s global society. The MLL Japanese Language and Culture Studies minor prepares students for living and working within an intercultural society in industries such as business, government, medicine, education, tourism, journalism, and more.
All students taking a minor in Japanese language and culture are expected to complete a minimum of 15-23 units of coursework: 8-16 lower-division language courses (through intermediate level) and 7-9 upper-division elective units (see Minor Requirements for Japanese Language and Culture Studies).
