Prerequisites
Contact advisor for information about any prerequisites.
Students must complete two full years (four semesters) or equivalent of Japanese language. (First year language courses are 5-credits each, for a total of 10, but a maximum of 6 credits will be applied to the certificate). If students test out of some portion of this requirement then they must complete additional credits in studies of Japanese and/or East Asia society and culture.
Two courses in Japanese or East Asian area studies (history, religion, economics, international relations, etc.) must be completed. For a list of electives please consult the list provided with the Asian Studies major in this catalog. However, some courses in that list may not be applicable for this certificate. Therefore, students should consult with an advisor for the certificate program to get approval for specific courses. Relevant special topics, study abroad credits, area studies or comparative studies courses may also be applied. Students are encouraged to earn credits through study abroad in Japan or through internships.
Please note: No more than two courses (6 credits) from the Asian Studies BA degree or Minor can be counted towards the certificate.
