If you want to develop your understanding of Chinese or Japanese literature, language, culture, or film, the University of Oregon has the perfect program for you. You may choose either language-intensive or culture-intensive majors in Chinese or Japanese language, depending on your focus and interests. Language-intensive majors will take at least four years of modern language, literary language, and essential literature courses; culture-intensive majors will take at least three years of modern language and a wider range of literature and culture courses. Intensive summer language programs supplement those offered during the academic year, and many of our students immerse themselves in their studies by attending study abroad programs in Beijing, Sapporo, Nanjing, Taipei, Tokyo, or other locations.
