The Japanese Program at the School of Modern Languages offers a minor in Japanese, as well as undergraduate and graduate degrees in Japanese.
Our Japanese courses range from the elementary to advanced levels, including language-based content courses in literature, translation, technology, and linguistics.
We also offer accelerated courses, a summer study abroad program, and online courses to accommodate student learning.
During the first five semesters (2.5 years) of Japanese, students develop four basic skills in Japanese: speaking, listening, reading and writing.
Students can accelerate this timeline by also taking online courses during the summer or taking accelerated classroom-based courses in the spring. After finishing JAPN 2002, students are eligible to participate in an intensive 8-week study abroad program in Japan.
If there are more applicants than we can accommodate in LBAT, those who completed JAPN 3001 will be preferred. After four years in this program, students should reach the Intermediate-Low/Mid proficiency level on the ACTFL scale.
In addition to the LBAT Summer program, Georgia Tech has exchange programs with several universities in Japan (See below). Students can also apply for 6-12 month international internships at Japanese corporations.
ALIS majors are required to study or intern abroad; IAML and GEML students are encouraged to do so (See below). These international experiences can also be used to count towards International Plan requirements.
The combination of language proficiency, intercultural competence, and international experiences in these programs provides students with a distinct advantage in employment opportunities and a stronger grounding in science and technology.
