Japanese Emphasis Freshman Pathway

Pathway View

This pathway is intended for incoming Freshmen students, majoring in WLC with an Empasis in Japanese Language and Culture, with no remediation requirements for entering college.

WLC encourages our majors to participate in a study abroad experience while you’re at CSUMB and we have several approved programs. Please consult an advisor to work this valuable experience into your learning pathway.

Courses by Requirement

Degree requirements are considered a guideline for graduation, and cannot replace the feedback of an academic advisor. Learn more about degree requirements at CSUMB.

Course units may only be counted once, when a course meets multiple requirements, the letter 'C' means that the completed course units were counted elsewhere.
