Don't just learn Japanese, study in Japan!
The goal of the
Japanese program at The University of Findlay is to help you develop communication skills which will enable you to pursue a career in virtually any industry with Japanese as a second language.
Our instruction strongly emphasizes functional
use of the language in culturally appropriate manners.
Your learning will take place both inside and outside of the classrooms.
You will
practice your language:
- In class
- On-campus activities with Japanese students
- Activities with the Findlay area Japanese community
members
- Study abroad and internship programs in Japan
(short visits or
up to a year)

There are approximately 350 Japanese
speakers in the Findlay area, and you will do various things with them.
We also have strong ties with Japan. We are affiliated with some large
educational institutions, several universities, companies, and language schools
in Japan.
Every semester, you will find some of our students
studying and/or working in Japan. Some of our graduates work in Japan as well as in Japanese companies located in
the US. Some of our graduates became teachers of Japanese in the US and
teachers of English in Japan.
We offer a major, minor, and a teaching license (K-12, Ohio).
Pursue your personal and professional dreams with Japanese as an
added skill!
一緒にがんばりましょう!!
