Bi-College Japanese Language Program
We serve East Asian Languages & Cultures majors, Japanese minors, and any Bryn Mawr College or Haverford College student who wishes to study the Japanese language. All courses are offered on the Haverford College campus.
In addition to First-Year, Second-Year, and Third-Year Japanese, we offer Advanced Japanese, which is a two-year, four-course series, each course covering a different topic, such as media, literature, international relations and contemporary social issues. This curricular design maximizes our teaching resources to meet the needs of our students who, in increasing numbers, arrive at college with multiple years of Japanese in secondary schools or who accelerate their Japanese training by studying in the summer or abroad prior to their senior year at approved schools.
Every year some graduates go to Japan under a “JET” program: the Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme. Others go to graduate schools for further studies in East Asian studies or Japanese studies. In addition to academia some alumni have pursued careers in translation, journalism or work as consultants to Japanese companies. Regardless of whether one will use the language beyond college or not, it is our aim that every student who comes to our program will find their college career enriched deeply.

Resources
An important part of the training takes place in Study Abroad programs. Our students go to Japan in their junior year, for intensive language programs and Japanese studies programs either in a Tokyo or a Nagoya area. A student may spend a semester or a year in one of these programs. They can choose home-stays with Japanese families or student dorms. There are scholarships that are available to those who choose to do study-abroad in Japan. If interested, consult the Office of International Academic Programs at Haverford or the Office of International Programs at Bryn Mawr.
Some of our students take advantage of summer language programs at reputable schools as well as a special resource such as the Japan-America Student Conference (JASC). JASC is a student-led exchange program where an equal number of students from the U.S. and Japan spend one summer month together, studying and analyzing Japan-U.S. relations.
