Major in Japanese Studies

The Major in Japanese Studies provides a solid grounding in Japanese language, culture, literature, and linguistics, with 36 units of core courses covering each of these areas and 4 units of elective courses in Japanese history, religion, philosophy, economics, politics, art, and business. The Major curriculum incorporates advanced Japanese instructional software developed at USF that is capable of analyzing and correcting student-composed sentences. Students have the option to pursue immersion study in Tokyo through our ongoing exchange program with Sophia University. The program affords opportunities for research and professional internships that are unique to the Bay Area.
