General Studies Major Requirements

Declaration in/or after Fall 2009

Jonathan Wu, Major Coordinator (wu@tuj.ac.jp)

Students at TUJ may, in consultation with the Major Coordinator and the Academic Advising Center, design an interdisciplinary major in the humanities (art history, Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, philosophy, religion) or the Social Sciences (American studies, Asian studies, economics, history, political science, psychology).

The successful completion of the approved sequence of courses will lead to a B.A. in general studies. A general studies major allows students to benefit from all the academic fields available at the Japan campus and to create an area of study that embraces an intellectual theme, such as environmental and population control, human rights, war and peace, or moral and ethical responsibilities.
