Students enroll in these courses for a variety of reasons, which include career goals, personal interest, preparation for study abroad, and the desire to fulfill certain university and college program requirements. Successful completion of Critical Languages courses can satisfy the international studies core requirement as well as the language requirements of majors ranging from Asian Studies to International Business. In addition, Critical Languages courses in Chinese and Japanese literature and in Japanese film and popular culture—all given in translation—invite students from any major to develop familiarity with Chinese and Japanese culture.
