EAST ASIAN LANGUAGES/CULTURES (JAPANESE w/Business) ACADEMIC MAP
(Effective Summer "C" 2012 and after)

This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The Liberal Studies and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area, literature, lab, Gordon Rule, and multicultural requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Offtrack) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.

To complete a Japanese major with a concentration in Business, a student would need to complete 18 hours of coursework in the JPNnese language above 2220, plus a total of 27 hours in the business components (15 hours of core courses and 12 hours in a specialized track), all with a C- or better. Students should consult with their advisor in the Department of Modern Languages for a list of appropriate courses. No minor is required.Total hours above 120 vary based on language proficiency level of student.
