Many students are also interested in careers related to Anime or computer technology, both large industries in Japan. A Committee Interdisciplinary Major with a focus in Japanese Language and Culture, combined with technology and science training, is excellent preparation for entry into those fields.<\/p>\n<p>Many students now can find Japanese instruction in their high schools. At 51ÁÔÆæ, students can continue their high school studies or begin from the first semester of Japanese language instruction. We offer eight semesters of Japanese language plus the vitally important courses about Japanese culture, business practices, values, politics, history, and religions.<\/p>\n<p>While the study of any Asian language is challenging for native English speakers because of their vast differences from English, students often find it is less difficult than they lead themselves to believe. Successful students of Japanese will dedicate the necessary daily time to practice and repeat...and practice and repeat.<\/p>\n<p>Japan is a very popular destination for\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/uwm.edu\/cie\/study-abroad\/\" target=\"_blank\">study abroad<\/a>, and Japanese majors are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities available through 51ÁÔÆæ. Programs vary in length from a few week immersion, to semester-long, to even a full year. Because of the complexities of planning a study abroad experience, students are encouraged to start planning early in sophomore year. Most students engage in study abroad during the second half of sophomore year or during their junior year.<\/p>\n  \n\n<\/text>\n\n\n    <div id=\"program-details-jump\">\n        <a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--s\" href=\"#program-details\" rel=\"\">Jump to Program Details <i class=\"uwm-u-pl-10 fa-solid fa-arrow-down\"><\/i><\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n    \n\n\n    <div class=\"uwm-l-row uwm-u-mt-50\">\n                    <div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n                <h2 class=\"size-h6 uwm-u-my-10 uwm-u-pt-10 uwm-u-border--top\">Program Type<\/h2>\n                <p class=\"size-h4 uwm-u-mt-0\">\n                    <strong>Minor<\/strong>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        \n                    <div class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-offset--2\">\n                <h2 class=\"size-h6 uwm-u-my-10 uwm-u-pt-10 uwm-u-border--top\">Program Format<\/h2>\n                <p class=\"size-h4 uwm-u-mt-0\">\n                    <strong>On Campus<\/strong>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"intro-sidebar\" class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-col--4 uwm-l-offset--1\">\n        <div class=\"uwm-mini-rfi uwm-p-card uwm-p-card--gold uwm-p-card--shadow\">\n            <div class=\"uwm-p-card--body\">\n                <div class=\"uwm-p-card--content\">\n                    <div class=\"uwm-p-card--title\">Request Information<\/div>\n                    <div id='form_47e36b1a-64dd-41ea-a6b5-b9deba75dca3'>Loading&#8230;<\/div>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \n\n<div class=\"uwm-u-flex uwm-u-flex--wrap uwm-u-flex--left uwm-u-mt-40\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--gold uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/undergrad-admission\/apply\/\" rel=\"\">How to Apply<\/a>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--gold uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/world-languages-cultures\/students\/undergraduates\/japanese\/declare-a-japanese-minor\/\" rel=\"\">Declare a Minor<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<script async='async' src='https:\/\/admissions.uwm.edu\/register\/?id=47e36b1a-64dd-41ea-a6b5-b9deba75dca3&amp;output=embed&amp;div=form_47e36b1a-64dd-41ea-a6b5-b9deba75dca3'>\/**\/<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"uwm-l-container--base\"><hr class=\"uwm-c-hr--thick uwm-u-m-0\" \/><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<section id=\"program-details\" class=\"uwm-u-py-80\">\n    <div class=\"uwm-l-container--base\">\n        \n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-row\">\n<div id=\"details-main\" class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-tabs\" data-tabs-prefix-class=\"uwm-p-tabs\"><ul class=\"uwm-p-tablist\" data-hx=\"h2\"><li class=\"uwm-p-tablist--item\"><a href=\"#tab-japanese-requirements\" class=\"uwm-p-tablist--link\">Requirements<\/a><\/li><li class=\"uwm-p-tablist--item\"><a href=\"#tab-japanese-advising\" class=\"uwm-p-tablist--link\">Advising<\/a><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"uwm-p-tabcontent\">\n<div id=\"tab-japanese-requirements\" class=\"uwm-p-tabcontent--pane\">\n<style>\ntable  {\n   font-family: Helvetica, Arial, \"sans-serif\";\n}\n\t\n\n\t\n\th2, h3, h4 {\n\t\tfont-family: Helvetica, Arial, \"sans-serif\";\n\t\t\n\t}\n\t\n\t\t\t.sc_courselist tr:nth-child(even) {\n \t\t\t background-color: #f2f2f2\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.sc_footnotes td, .sc_footnotes th, .sc_footnotes table {  border-left: none;\n  border-right: none; padding: 8px;}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.sc_courselist {\n\t\t\t\tborder-collapse: collapse;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.sc_courselist td, .sc_courselist th {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 1px solid #ddd;\n\t\t\t\tpadding: 8px;\n        min-width: 40px;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.hourscol{\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: right;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t .hidden.noscript{\n\t\t\t\/*\tdisplay: none; *\/\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.areaheader, .symcol, .listsum {\n\t\t\t\tfont-weight: bold;\n\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t.HU { background-color: #ffce9c; }\n\n\t\t\t.SS { background-color: #f0e68c; }\n\n\t\t\t.NS { background-color: #ceefbd; }\n\n\t\t\t.OWCB { background-color: #ccccff; }\n\n\t\t\t.QLB { background-color: #ccffff; }\n<\/style>\n\n\n<h2>Requirements<\/h2>\n<p>The minor in Japanese consists of at least 18 credits.
