Japanese
Ever since the 1970s, Japanese has been one of the most popular non-European language choices at colleges and high schools all over the United States. In addition to those who are interested in the powerful Japanese economy, an increasingly diverse group of students are attracted to the language as a portal to many other cultural realms: Zen Buddhism, haiku poetry, martial arts, tea ceremony, and the latest creative products of the prosperous comic / animation / video game industries. Our program leads to an understanding of the more subtle, complex elements of Japanese culture and offers an alternative view of the world.
