Welcome to the Japanese Division of the Department of Classical and Oriental Studies at Hunter College of The City University of New York

About Us

........Hunter College is the hub of language studies in the CUNY system. More languages are taught here at Hunter and more students study languages at Hunter than on any other CUNY campus. Hunter’s historic support of the study of foreign languages and literatures has produced not only the strongest programs in CUNY in both the traditional and less commonly taught languages, but a heightened visibility for Hunter both inside the university and in the larger academic world. The Hunter Japanese Division was established in September of 2002. the Department offers a three-year sequence in the Japanese language. It was first created as part of the Classical Studies Department 21 years ago. It has been gaining greater and greater popularity each year.
