Major Requirements

Prospective majors must meet with an East Asian languages and literatures faculty advisor when declaring the major, each spring to obtain the advisor’s signature before fall term registration, and two terms before graduation.  The Bachelor of Arts in Japanese comes with three options: Culture-Intensive, Language-Intensive, and Linguistics-Intensive.

Any course for which a grade lower than C– is received does not count toward the major.

Prospective majors who place above the first term of the third year of a language (Third-Year Chinese (CHN 301) or Third-Year Japanese (JPN 301)) must draft an individualized program in conjunction with a department advisor.

Honors Thesis in Japanese

With the support of an advisor, students may write a thesis on a Japanese topic. Thesis topics must be approved at least one term before the thesis is submitted for honors credit.

Thesis Written in English. To count toward a Japanese degree, the thesis must be on a Japanese cultural topic with a suggested length of forty pages.

Thesis Written in Japanese. With an advisor's approval, majors may opt to write a thesis in Japanese with a suggested length of 12,500 characters.

Overseas Study

The University of Oregon has four overseas study programs in China and Japan. Students in University of Oregon study abroad programs enroll in courses with subject codes that are unique to individual programs. Special course numbers are reserved for overseas study. See International Affairs in the Academic Resources section of this catalog. Students are strongly advised to talk with their major advisor before they study abroad to plan their courses of study and make sure the courses they take in China and Japan will count toward major requirements.
