专业概况

在这里学什么？

With more than 125 million native speakers, Japanese is the eighth most widely spoken language in the world and the national language of a world economic powerhouse. It is among the world's great languages of science, technology, and commerce. Japanese immigrants and their descendants form vibrant communities in the United States (such as in Seattle), Canada and in many other countries around the world.

Japanese is also the vehicle of a literary culture spanning 13 centuries. The 11th century Tale of Genji, for example, is reckoned among the classics of world literature. In the 20th century, two Japanese writers, Yasunari Kawabata and Kenzaburo Oe, have been awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. Acclaimed content produced in modern Japanese pop culture — including books, films, and anime — flourishes as part of a language that has been utilized by some of the world’s most imaginative and influential storytellers.

Why study Japanese at the UW?

Our Japanese program has a long and rich tradition, and it is recognized today for the world-class quality of its faculty and degree programs. Our department’s close links with other departments on campus create opportunities for students to undertake cross-disciplinary studies, including with the Department of Linguistics, the Jackson School of International Studies and the Foster School of Business (where options include a Certificate of International Studies in Business).

On campus, the program hosts a visiting scholar from Japan each spring, expanding research opportunities for our students and deepening our links with the Japanese academic world. It also hosts many lectures and colloquia on campus, some in conjunction with other academic units. The University library system includes the East Asia Library, which is home to more than 130,000 volumes in Japanese, ranking among the top ten university-based collections of Japanese materials in the United States.

Nearby in Seattle, students can find large and vibrant Japanese and Japanese-American communities and an active arts scene, offering many opportunities to experience Japanese culture firsthand. In addition, the city’s location on the Pacific Coast provides opportunities for travel to Japan and other parts of Asia, including through the UW’s study abroad opportunities.
