week for fifteen weeks per semester, and carries two credits.
Japanese Culture Workshops
The Japanese Culture Workshops aim not only to provide
hands-on experience of traditional Japan's arts, such as calligraphy, flower
arrangement, and ceramics, but to introduce both contemporary and
traditional aspects of Japan through visits to places of cultural
interest. The classes are conducted in various styles: some are
lecture oriented, others are practice based. For further information,

These workshops carry one credit per semester.
3. Minimum Requirements for a One-Year Certificate

certificate of completion, students are required to
