Non-language Courses

Japanese Studies is an interdisciplinary program, and all the UD non-language courses (electives) are offered by our affiliated departments.

Some departmental offerings have content that varies from year to year. In those cases, Japanese Studies approval is given only when content relates primarily to Japan (33% or more).

If you have any questions about these courses, please contact the course offering departments directly.
