Here is the list of steps for students interested in the Japanese Option (major) at LaGuardia Community College.

  1. Take a Japanese class
    Take a Japanese class (probably ELJ101: Elementary Japanese 1 unless you have learned it at high school or by yourself). The Japanese class is a litmus test to see whether your interest in Japanese langauge and culture is just a fad or real passion to guide your future career. The Japanese langauge is not easy, but you should study really hard to receive a decent grade for your first Japanese class.
