Notes

***The grid above assumes no prior study of the Japanese language. If you enter Hofstra with prior study of the Japanese language, your grid may look different once your Japanese proficiency has been assessed.

***The Japanese BA requires successful completion of two Writing Intensive (WI) courses and one Quantitative Reasoning (QR) course. The grid above indicates one way to configure these requirements.
