The M.A. program in Japanese is designed for students with strong academic records and an interest in pursuing postgraduate research in Japanese literature or cultural history, but who have not yet acquired the language skills or disciplinary foundation necessary to enter a Ph.D. program.

Students who wish to pursue advanced language training in preparation for postgraduate research in other fields of Japanese studies are referred to the interdisciplinary M.A. program in the Center for East Asian Studies: East Asian Studies (MA).

Program Learning Outcomes

The purpose of the master’s program is to further develop knowledge and skills in East Asian Languages and Cultures and to prepare students for a professional career or doctoral studies. This is achieved through the completion of courses, in the primary field as well as related areas, and experience with independent work and specialization.
