Minor in “Japanese Studies” (JPS)
The Japanese Program has launched a new “Minor in Japanese Studies” (JPS) from June 1st, 2024. This minor allows students to delve deeper into Japanese culture, society, and history. Students can fulfill the minor requirements by taking a variety of Japan-related courses, including Japanese literature, film, popular culture, history, philosophy, arts, and more. All Japanese Studies courses (JPS-courses) are conducted in English. Each course might have its prerequisites; please check the course descriptions of each course on CUNYFirst.
