Majors in Japanese are strongly encouraged to pursue the honors track. Those who are interested must meet the following criteria: (1) Fulfillment of all the requirements for a first major of 30 credit hours in Japanese; (2) A cumulative GPA of at least 3.6 or permission from the Department Chair. Program Requirements: In addition to the 30 hours required for a major, the honors track requires the completion of a senior honors thesis of at least 30 pages that demonstrates the student's originality and ability to do research in the target field. For this endeavor the student will receive 3 hours of graded credit. This means that to graduate with departmental honors, the student must earn 33 hours of credit in the major. Based on past experience, it is our expectation that honors projects will emerge from previous course work where close interaction between faculty and students has planted the seeds for a larger project; from the student's leadership role in the cultural and intellectual life of the department; or as a follow up to experiences begun during his/her study abroad program. A thesis director is chosen to guide the student and provide assistance.
