Clark University is part of the Higher Education Consortium of Central Massachusetts (HECCMA) so WPI students can attend these courses.
Clark University offers Beginning Japanese (101 in the fall, 102 in the spring) and Intermediate Japanese (103 in the fall and 104 in the spring). Students who wish to continue Japanese language study are urged to participate in Clarkâs Study Abroad Program in Japan at Kansai Gaidai. In addition, Japanese 296, Advanced Topics, is available to students as a directed reading course.
Four courses in Japanese literature and culture give students a chance to explore literature in a cultural context:
- Japanese 110: Japanese Popular Culture: Narratives of National Identity
- Japanese 190: Japanese Women Writers
- Japanese 275: The Japanese Warrior Tradition
- Japanese 280: Memory and National Identity in Post-war Japanese Fiction and Film
For these courses, all the readings are in English (though students may elect to do some/all of the readings in Japanese), and no knowledge of Japanese language or history is expected or assumed.
