Modern Language majors in Japanese must complete Japanese 111, 112, 211, 212, 311, 312, 330, 331, and 495. Japanese majors must study abroad for one academic year and the courses taken may include the equivalent of Japanese 311 and 312 for a minimum of 12 credits in the major. After completing the required course work, Japanese majors must achieve level 3 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) of the Japan Foundation. In exceptional cases, certain double majors who can prove that they cannot otherwise satisfy all requirements of both majors may apply for a substitution of one semester for the full-year, study-abroad requirement. Any double majors granted this exception must obtain a minimum proficiency rating of Advanced.
