Students may petition the program to have courses taken in their study-abroad program (including the Bates Fall Semester Abroad) applied toward the fulfillment of requirements 1) and 3).
Minor
A minor requires a minimum of seven courses (or six courses and a designated Short Term course). At least one of the seven courses must involve a study of literature or culture (taught either in Japanese or in translation), but only one course in translation may be counted toward the minor. A student may petition to have up to three comparable courses, completed at other institutions in either the United States or abroad, apply toward the minor. Advanced Placement courses may not be applied toward the minor.
Pass/Fail Grading Option
Pass/fail grading may be elected for two courses applied toward the Japanese major.
