Japanese, Minor

• The requirements for a minor must be completed concurrently with the major degree requirements.
• No minor may be added by completing courses after receiving the bachelor’s degree.

At least six (6) credit hours must be earned in courses acceptable for residence credit by standards set forth by the Dodge College of Arts and Sciences, excluding transfer, correspondence, and examination (AP, CLEP, Advanced Standing) credit. Courses for the minor may not be taken Pass/ No Pass.

No single course may be used by a student to satisfy a major requirement and a minor requirement. A course may be used, however, to satisfy both a major support requirement and a minor requirement. 

Requests to substitute a minor requirement must be approved in writing by the Japanese program in the Department of Modern Languages, Literature, & Linguistics.

Required Courses

Students must successfully complete at least 18 hours of coursework in Japanese, including at least 9 hours at the upper-division level. Note that introductory courses (JAPN 1115 and JAPN 1225) are not counted toward this total.
