<p>I am currently attending community college and am looking at schools to transfer to. I am naturally looking at the ones highly ranked but I am also looking for schools that have strong Japanese programs as well as christian background. Am I being unrealistic or is there some school that you can think of. Thank you.</p>
<p>I think you might be able to get two out of three on that list.</p>
<p>What constitutes a strong Japanese program?</p>
<p>noleguy33: That was what I figured but I didn’t want it to be true. The main combination that I was interested in was Christian/Japanese and I didn’t find any that places well. Did I miss one?</p>
<p>boneh3ad: A strong Japanese program must at least have a major in it, four years of classes, a strong study abroad program (especially for CS), and would allow me to go study technical Japanese somewhere like the UW or MIT should I choose.</p>
<p>Would BYU or U. Notre Dame qualify?</p>

<p>They usually have good schools. Loyola Marymount is close to where I live in Los Angeles & it has a strong reputation around here. They always tend to be on the pricey side, though.</p>
<p>Loyola Marymount does not offer a major in Japanese.</p>
<p>Usually, when folks refer to ‘Christian’ schools, they are referring to conservative Protestant schools such as Liberty, Wheaton (IL), etc, not Catholic universities.</p>
<p>Don’t know which definition OP intended.</p>
<p>Gonzaga? Okay not perhaps what one thinks of when they think of ‘christian school’ but a Catholic school and hey, Catholics are christians 
And well, it is hard to get everything.</p>
<p>Nice size. Located in Spokane Washington. I’ve read good things about on CC. </p>
<p>They have a computer science program, engineering, as well as what looks like a serious Japanese program. Also study abroad program with Japan. Going by their website, all of these look pretty extensive:</p>

<p>Also what about Whitworth? Christian college in Washington state. Offers CS, but also with an international option. No Japanese language, and closest is Asian Studies major.</p>
