Course Descriptions
Students with native experience of Japanese may not enroll for credit in 100-level courses in Japanese.
All students with training or experience in Japanese other than a previous course in that language at Cleveland State must consult a counselor in the Department of Modern Languages for assistance in deciding where to enter the Japanese sequence. Failure to seek counseling may result in schedule shifts during the first week of class.
