JPNGrad

In Fall 2007, The Department of Modern Languages began offering a Japanese major and minor in the Department of Modern Languages! The Japanese Program at Marshall University is the only program that offers Japanese major in the state of West Virginia. There are at least two Japanese native volunteers who help your study in addition to your instructor in each Japanese class, which provides students with an opportunity to interact with students from Japan in every Japanese class! Also, Japanese instructors can help find conversation partners to practice Japanese and have a personal experience with individuals outside the classroom. A Japanese Study Abroad experience is currently under development.

Major in Japanese

A major in Japanese consists of thirty semester hours in the same language. Twenty one hours must be in courses numbered above 204 and must include a minimum nine hours of courses at the 400 level. One 3-hour course in Japanese  culture or literature in translation will be allowed to count toward the completion of the required hours for the major. Michael Hendricks

Double Majors

With careful planning students can major in more than one language or major in a modern language along with another field such as Education, International Studies, Criminal Justice, English, Political Science, History, Communication Studies, Business, Social Work, etc... Knowledge of one or more languages can form the basis for an interesting career and greatly enhance possibilities for entering and advancing in a wide variety of occupations.700 Reasons For Studying Languages: website
