Starting this academic year (2025-26), the department will recognize achievement in language study, regardless of a student’s major or minor, with departmental “certificates of language proficiency” and “certificates of advanced language proficiency.” The former will be awarded to students who complete the final quarter of second-year Chinese, Japanese, or Korean with a grade of B or higher. The latter will be awarded to students who receive a B or higher in the final quarter of third-year Chinese or Japanese, or who receive a B or higher in two fourth-year Chinese or Japanese courses (including courses in classical Chinese and Japanese).
