About Bachelor of Japanese

The Japanese language consists of a complex system of casual, distal and honorific styles reflecting the hierarchical nature of Japanese society, and the writing system employs three distinct styles:hiragana, katakana and kanji {Chinese characters). At times, learning the Japanese language may be challenging, but students will be fascinated by the unique heritage and traditions of the Japanese culture and language.

The Japanese minor requires students to complete 18 hours (up to 26 hours) of study within the field including 9 hours of upper-level courses. The minor goes beyond basic language instruction to include exposure to Japanese culture in a variety of forms and context.

Students also have the opportunity to study abroad for one of two semesters in exchange programs at one of two Japanese Universities during their undergraduate studies. Some of our graduates have acquired teaching positions in various language schools in Japan, and others have participated in the Japanese government-sponsored JET program.

Courses a student might take include Introductory Japanese, Japanese Civilization or Intermediate Japanese for Business.

Requirements and Admission Criteria for Bachelor of Japanese at Baylor University

Entry Requirements

We accept high school transcripts in these two ways:

OFFICIAL: Official transcripts can be mailed from your high school in a sealed and signed envelope or sent digitally through a secure electronic source (Slate.org, Parchment, CommonApp, or TRex). Your high school counselor can also email a high school transcript and it will be considered official if submitted from a school email address as verification.
UNOFFICIAL: Unofficial transcripts are sufficient to complete your application file, however, please note that final enrollment at Baylor is contingent upon receipt of an official transcript. If you would like to submit an unofficial transcript to complete your application file, simply upload a scanned copy in your goBAYLOR account or email [email protected] and include as an attachment.

Transcripts or mark sheets must include: years of enrollment, course titles and all marks earned for each course for 6 semesters. If your school's education system only has three years of secondary school, please have the previous year submitted as well.
Transcripts should be submitted in the original language and accompanied by an official literal English translation.
Although original documents are preferred, certified photocopies are acceptable when a signature and the stamp from the school or government official is included. Copies received through fax or email are not considered official. Students can self submit transcripts as long as they are in official, sealed envelopes from their secondary school.
Applicants from schools with external exams or leaving certificates should have their exams or certificates submitted to Baylor directly from the testing agency (IGCSE, GCE, WAEC, CBSE, IB, etc.). If you are unsure about which transcripts or exams are required for your country's education system, see our Required Secondary School Credentials by Country page.
If you have not yet taken your examination, your admission may be contingent upon our receipt of your exam results.
If using outside credential evaluators, Baylor will only accept evaluations from Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE) or World Education Services (WES). If you choose to use one of these services, Baylor requires copies of the original transcripts to accompany the evaluation. Each transcript is reviewed on an individual basis and should be verified by contacting [email protected].
