DEPARTMENT OF JAPANESE LANGUAGE AND STUDIES
The Department of Japanese Language and Studies has two majors:
Japanese Linguistics and Teaching Methods
Japanese Studies
Students entering the Department of Japanese Language and Studies must choose a major and meet its requirements. Each major requires students to complete 48 credits.
Japanese Language Requirement
(common to all DJLS students)
In addition to fulfilling the course requirements for their chosen major, all DJLS students are required to attain a specified minimum level of proficiency in Japanese. The level to be attained depends on the student's linguistic background:
Category 1 (non-native): JPN 322, Advanced Japanese 2
Categories 2 and 3 (native and near-native speakers): JPN 350, College Skills
These courses are to be included among the student's Elective DJLS Courses. What other Japanese language courses may be counted as Elective DJLS Courses depends on the student's linguistic background:
1. Students in category 1, who take Japanese for their language requirement, may include in their Elective DJLS Courses any Japanese language courses beyond the level completed for their language requirement.
2. Students in category 2 may include in their Elective DJLS Courses (in addition to JPN 350, College Skills) JPN 351, 401, 405, 406, and 407.
3. Students in category 3 may include in their Elective DJLS Courses (in addition to JPN 350, College Skills) any Japanese language courses they are directed to take prior to enrolling in JPN 350 as well as more advanced language courses (JPN 351, 400, 401, 405, 406, and 407)
N.B.
Students in categories 2 or 3 who entered prior to 2002 and who have already completed JPN 335, or who attained the equivalent level on the Japanese Placement Test, do not need to take any further Japanese language classes to fulfill the language proficiency requirement. If they wish, however, they may take JPN 350 and may count it as an Elective DJLS Course.
