<p>I have had trouble finding colleges that offer Japanese. Please help me out and recommend some colleges. My GPA uw is 3.44 and weighted is 3.89 with the most rigorous courses in high school, SAT is R 640 M 620 W 590. </p>
<p>Whatever you guys can recommend is helpful, just please make sure there's a good chance I can get accepted. </p>
<p>I live in southern Pennsylvania. Anywhere with at most a 12 hour drive away is good enough for me.</p>
<p>The University of Pittsburgh offers a major and minor in Japanese. It's under the East Asian Languages Department.</p>

<p>I know a lot of people at Bennington that concentrate in Japanese, and then they are often able to go there over Field Work Term to cement their studies.</p>
<p>Notice these are mostly large universities, with only a smattering of LACs (although some very good ones including Middlebury, Macalester, Carleton, Williams, Wellesley, Vassar, Bates, Scripps, Colgate). Many LACs offer only 3 to 5 languages, usually the "big 3" of Spanish, French and German, plus maybe one or two more. IMO this is one of the greatest limitations of an LAC education, though of course there are trade-offs.</p>
<p>Swarthmore offers Japanese as well. </p>
<p>Chinese is now the most popular language studied at Swarthmore, although Arabic may challenge for that.</p>

<p>Connecticut College has an outstanding Japanese Program.</p>
