Welcome to the web site of the Japan Studies program at Montana State University, Bozeman. Our mission is to help students acquire the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in Japan and in Japanese contexts.
Courses are currently available in Japanese language, history, literature, and civilization. Japan-related coursework is an excellent complement to almost any major. Students can spend an entire year studying at a Japanese university, including our exchange partners in Kumamoto, Montana's sister state.
Students who wish to earn formal recognition of their work can pursue either the Japan Studies option through the Department of History or a non-teaching minor in Japan Studies (also see the university requirements for non-teaching minors).
