Why Study Japanese?
We offer Beginning Japanese I & II and Intermediate Japanese I & II every semester.
- Are you a fan of manga and anime, or a Japanese film buff? Learn Japanese so you can participate in the language!
- Join the JET Program (Japan Exchange and Teaching Program), which has sent more than 35,000 Americans to work in schools and government agencies, including a dozen UCA faculty and students.
- As the third largest economy, Japan offers opportunities for Japanese speakers in business, finance, trade, and tourism.
