Graduate Programs in Japanese

Overview

We have recently established an MA program in Japanese (second language acquisition and pedagogy). Those who have an MA already may seek a Ph.D. concentrating on Japanese, too. (We do not have a Ph.D. program in Japanese yet, but it is possible to work on a Ph.D. in Foreign Languages and Literatures.)

Financial support

Currently, all graduate students in the department majoring in Japanese are supported by departmental assistantships. There are more than ten teaching assistantships available. They include a full tuition remission and a monthly salary of over $1,000. The standard teaching load is 3 courses a year (1 in Fall, 2 in Spring or 2 in Fall, 1 in Spring). All teaching assistants are given a private desk in a shared office space.

Our graduates

All Ph.D. graduates that the Japanese faculty mentored have full-time jobs so far, many of them tenure-track. Naturally, we are very proud of them.

Inquiries

All inquiries about the Japanese graduate programs should be directed to Prof. Atsushi Fukada.
