请求的信息

You’ll be immersed in 日本 culture 和 language from the first day of your first 日本 course. Courses stretch beyond vocabulary 和 grammar to explore literature, architecture, 艺术, 政治, 电影, 经济学, 和 everyday life, so you’ll develop a critical underst和ing of 日本 culture 和 language.

The core of the C艺术hage 日本 program is the four-year language curriculum. The goal of the 日本 program is to help students develop proficiency in 日本 in a socio-cultural context. Students not only gain fluency in reading, 写作, 和 speaking 日本, but they also acquire a deep underst和ing of 日本 people 和 culture.

Many students combine 日本 with a major or minor in another field, allowing them to combine their interests 和 prepare for various futures — even some they might not anticipate.
