The Japanese Program at UNC stresses acquisition of the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing. Classes at all levels are performance-oriented, geared toward oral and written proficiency in Japanese, and taught in Japanese. Students develop critical thinking skills as well as independent learning skills as they acquire familiarity with traditional and modern Japanese language, literature, culture, and civilization. Extra-curricular activities encourage cultural awareness and promote organizational and leadership skills.
Students can study beginning through advanced levels of Japanese at UNC and can supplement their study at UNC with one of several UNC exchange and study-abroad opportunities. Currently, students can apply course work in Japanese to an International Studies major or to an Asian Studies minor.
Students completing advanced level work in Japanese can pursue graduate study in Japanese or related fields, or having combined their language study with other fields such as business, political science, international trade and relations, history, fine arts and others, can become involved in careers in international business, world affairs, social work, or the arts.
