- All majors and minors must earn a C or higher in JPN 301, which serves as a gateway course to upper-level culture and literature courses.
- Majors must earn passing scores on the third-year proficiency exams to enroll in GLT 400.
- The department strongly recommends that majors study abroad for at least one summer.
