Japanese Studies BA

Students of Japanese at UW-Whitewater can choose to major or minor in Japanese Studies. Japanese language courses are designed to build a solid foundation of all four language skills and promote the development of language proficiency. In addition to the course offerings at UW-Whitewater, through a collaboration with UW-Oshkosh, students are given the option to take courses taught at UW-Oshkosh on-line. Many students combine their interest of Japanese with a degree in business, education, history, media arts and game development, international studies, and science. Students are encouraged to take advantage of opportunities to use Japanese outside of the classroom. Student organizations such as the Japanese Anime & Culture Society and the Japanese Language Club meet weekly. There, students learn new Japanese phrases and can participate in lively discussions about interesting aspects of Japanese culture with their new-found friends. These clubs often offer opportunities for students to practice their Japanese communication skills together with exchange students from Japan. Students interested in studying abroad have the option of joining a year-long or semester-long program. Currently, UW-Whitewater has exchange programs with Sophia University in Tokyo and Kansai Gaidai University in Osaka. Students who are not able to participate in the study abroad program have the option of applying to the Guy Healy summer internship program where they will teach English to Japanese youth at various locations throughout Japan. Periodically, travel study to Japan is offered to students during the summer. The Office of Global Experiences is a wonderful resource for students who have aspirations to study and work in Japan!
