Japanese Language Courses
Graduate Students who enroll in J. F. Oberlin University Graduate School are expected to have a working knowledge of speaking, reading, and writing Japanese after a year of study here. In order to facilitate acquisition of Japanese to students not yet fully prepared to take their course work in Japanese, we have a structured Japanese language program that will cater to the needs of different students.
