Madonna teaches it. And I think a few other colleges does, but I don't know for sure.

wayne and emu also have them as well, not to mention ann arbor campus

Would the Ann Arbor faculty be down with UMD students taking Japanese on their campus?

I'm not sure in AA would allow a UMD student to take a class like they were just a normal student. But most times you can take a class at another university as a guest student. However you need to talk with your advisor and probably the admissions people of both UMD and the college you want to take the class at in order to make sure you can do it and the credit will be accepted.

having considered taking japanese, i found all the paper work to be a pain to deal with, and this is coming from a guy who is considering a career in politics.

＞、＞　what kind of paper work is involved?

wouldnt it just be easier to be enrolled at UMD and EMU at same time?

The main problem with being enrolled at multiple colleges at the same time is Financial Aid and credits. If you don't care about having these classes count toward your final credit total it isn't so much a big deal. But then there is still the problem of financial aid.

Generally, colleges tend to prefer that you are only enrolled in 1 at a time and that you then transfer your credits if you want to continue.

I also want to take Japanese classes and was currently looking into it. I know their offering classes for it this fall at UMD but last time I looked all they had was intermediate and not beginner are these classes still in consideration or something?

[ed335dot]

I think you can only take the Japanese classes in the center in Japan. I am thinking about taking a Japanese class as a guest student at another university or just studying it independently online or with tapes or books of some sort.

hmm if that's the case Ed you should check out the UMD library near the DVD movie section. they have a big packet with a book, DVD, and CD on Japanese....your comment just reminded me of it, lol.

I was more leaning on taking the class to do something interesting while fulfilling the language requirement.

[Nave]

i self teach myself the language
and im rather lazy at it

but i found another place with japanese classes for those who are interested

Wayne County Community College also has jpn 101 and 102
i still need to call them and see when those offer ( whether it be during fall,winter or summer )

[ngsilver]

WC3 teaches it now? They get all the good classes after I leave!

[Nave]

haha i guess, but as an update they have japanese 101 and 102 at the Northwest campus

i am already enrolled in the class
tuition for it would have been 343$? ish or around there

i was able to online register for the school since it has an open door policy, meaning it accepts everyone

last time i checked there was 6 openings

the class schedule is 9-12:55 on fridays only

lucky for me i have my own policy to keep fridays open when i choose my umd classes :]

WCCCD has jpn as well as the other campuses, like central and eastern but id bet they cost a bit more

and eastern and central's definately dont work into my schedule @_@

and as a side note i believe you can still register for the class since registration doesn't end until aug or something of the sorts ( not sure)

[ngsilver]

those times dont fit into my work schedule
