Chair, Professor Kimberly Besio [Chinese]
Professor Tamae Prindle; Associate Professor Besio; Assistant Professor Randle Keller Kimbrough; Language Assistant Naomi Miyake

A minor in Japanese is offered for students who have a substantial interest in Japanese language and culture.

Requirements for the Minor in Japanese
Five language courses of at least three credits each at the level of Japanese 126 or above, and one more course with a substantial literary/cultural component to be chosen from either Japanese 421, 422, or a course on Japanese literature at the 200 level or higher (Japanese literature courses are listed in the “East Asian Studies" section of the catalogue). Students who start taking Japanese from an upper level are expected to take at least four language courses probably including 421, 422, and independent study 491 and 492. Note: the minor in Japanese is intended for non-East Asian studies majors. East Asian studies majors must declare either a Chinese concentration or a Japanese concentration within the major.
