Minor in Chinese/Japanese Studies
Coordinator: Katharina Barbe, Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures
The interdisciplinary minor in Chinese/Japanese studies offers students an opportunity to gain in-depth
knowledge of cultural, historical, economic, and sociological issues pertaining to the Far East, particularly
Japan and China, while becoming more proficient in either Chinese or Japanese.
Knowledge of Chinese or Japanese is useful for students who anticipate careers in government (particularly in
foreign service) or in international business or academic institutions which offer programs dealing directly or
peripherally with China and/or Japan.
Students electing this interdisciplinary minor should declare the minor at the office of the division
coordinator of German, Russian, classics, and Asian languages, Watson 120.
