Careers

At the Japanese program, we strive to help our students achieve well-developed communication skills and cultural adaptability. Beyond the intrinsic value of expertise in Japanese language and culture, these capabilities are beneficial across various fields.

Moreover, our students are in a stronger position to navigate today's dynamic and interconnected world, because they are trained to adopt perspectives that transcend national borders. This world is simultaneously bringing people closer together and highlighting deep divisions, making cultural receptiveness crucial.

Thus, while AI has taken over many tasks of replacing one language with another, there are still numerous exciting career opportunities for Japanese majors, particularly in business, diplomacy, consulting, education, and the arts.

However, Japanese language skills alone may not provide a sufficient edge in the job market. It's essential to combine your language proficiency with knowledge and skills in another area of interest. Gaining relevant work experience during college is also critical.

We are committed to supporting your career development by offering guidance, workshops, and financial support alongside your education in Japanese language and culture. Our goal is to equip you with the expertise you need to make meaningful contributions to society upon graduation.
