The Japanese Program offers joint BS degrees with International Affairs (IAML) and with Economics (GEML) in addition to a minor or certificate in Japanese. Our 4-year program ranges from Elementary to Advanced Japanese courses including content-based courses in Japanese society and politics, literature and culture, technical and business translation, language proficiency test training, and Japanese linguistics. Our courses are offered in a regular classroom format (all levels) as well as in the Internet-based online format (Elementary to Intermediate Japanese).

We offer study abroad opportunities such as a six-week, summer study-abroad program called LBAT in Japan. GT has exchange programs with several universities in Japan (Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tohoku University, Waseda University, Fukuoka University and Ritsumeikan APU). With support from JETRO, you can also apply for international internships in Japanese corporations for 6 months to a year. These study/internship abroad experiences can be used toward International Plan degrees.
