日语课程为学生提供了一系列课程和活动，可增强学生的跨文化和跨文化能力。在完成该语言的四个基本年级后，学生将准备处理各种口语日语。我们的专业追求日语或文学方面的高级研究。也可以将对日本的兴趣与商业，工程，历史或国际研究学位相结合。敦促专业学生尽早开始课程，最好是在大一或大二的时候。但是，如果这不可能，那么可以在西澳大学麦迪逊分校或其他地方开设暑期课程，以加快学生的学习进度。以前有日语学习经验的人可以根据部门推荐选择进修高级课程。
The Japanese program offers students a range of courses and activities that enhance students' intercultural and transcultural competencies. With the completion of the four basic years of the language, students will be prepared to handle various types of colloquial Japanese. Our majors pursue advanced studies in Japanese language or literature. It is also possible to combine an interest in Japan with a degree in business, engineering, history, or international studies.<br><br>Majors are urged to begin coursework early, ideally in the freshman or sophomore year. If, however, this is not possible, summer courses at UWMadison or elsewhere are available which speed the student's progress. Those who have previous Japanese study experience may enter advanced courses on the basis of department recommendation.
