Japanese

For more information on our Japanese program, please see the Japanese program website. The program also has its own study help site, JOSHU.

Language Placement

Students who have studied Japanese previously, but do not have college credit for Japanese should take the Japanese placement exam at Instructional Assessment and Evaluation.

Students transferring in credit from ACC or UTSA will most likely need to repeat some courses here. ACC uses the same textbook as UT, but we finish the textbook during the fourth semester, and ACC goes only halfway through. Most students who have 4 semesters from ACC will want to pick up here with JPN 412K. Students from UTSA will most likely want to repeat whatever the last semester is that they took at UTSA. They should always let the instructor know that they are coming from another university on the first day, so, if necessary, they can get into a higher or lower level before the 4th class day.
