Japanese - Hamilton College Clinton

Japanese from Hamilton College Clinton is a Campus Bachelor Language degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. JAPANESE HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST WIDELY TAUGHT foreign languages in the United States. It has assumed critical importance in a wide range of professions and interests, from politics and diplomacy to business, education and cutting-edge technology. But the recent growth of the Pacific Rim as an economic and technological giant in world affairs has spurred a fascination with the region's cultures as well as a practical interest in its languages. Hamilton serves both these needs through a minor in Japanese , offered through the East Asian Languages and Literatures Department. The study of Japanese at Hamilton emphasizes language proficiency while introducing students to Japanese literature, film, culture and society. The program provides rigorous, intensive training in reading, writing and speaking Japanese. Upper-level courses are conducted entirely in Japanese . RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES Conducting research, either through collaboration with a faculty member or independently, is key to helping you integrate what you have learned in the classroom. THE SENIOR PROGRAM The Senior Program serves as an integrating and culminating experience for Japanese by requiring students to use the methodology and knowledge gained in their first three years of study. Each student works closely with at least one faculty member during the course of the program. RESOURCES The Asian Studies Program sponsors a number of important cultural, educational and social events each year, many of them in conjunction with the student-run Asian Cultural Society and other departments.
