About

Overview The ProgramMost courses are conducted in Japanese with readings in Japanese. The Japanese major from Georgetown University begins with language study and an introduction to issues in East Asian cultures (JAPN-024 East Asia: Texts and Contexts) and proceeds through advanced work in language and culture including a semester or year abroad. In order to familiarize themselves with relevant critical and historical issues in the field, students must take at least one course on Japanese culture offered by the department in English in addition to "East Asia: Texts and Contexts." The major culminates in a Senior Seminar paper or Senior Honors Thesis on a topic of the student's choice within the area of Japanese cultural studies.In addition to courses offered by the department, a variety of Asian studies courses is also available through other departments. Majors are highly recommended to fulfill their general education history requirement by taking at least one semester of Japanese or Asian history, but we encourage students to take two semesters of Japanese or Asian history, which serves as important background to advanced coursework and the overseas study experience. Beyond that, Japan-related courses are offered in Economics, Government, International Affairs, Theology, Sociology, Art History, and other fields. These can be taken as free electives, or can in some cases fulfill general education requirements. These outside courses can often be counted toward an Asian Studies Certificate. Students should seek help from their department advisors to develop a well-integrated academic program built around their interests and drawing upon this rich variety of resources.
