Why Study Japanese?

There are many reasons to study Japanese at UWM.

Economic

Japan is the fourth largest trading partner of the United States (U.S. Census) and has the third largest economy in the world.

Diplomatic

Japan is a crucial strategic ally of the United States in a region that is only expected to increase in importance throughout the next century. The importance of this region is highlighted by the well-publicized shift in diplomatic policy known as the “pivot” to East Asia.

Cultural

Japanese cultural impact, through film, literature, art, and new media, has an outsized global reach.
